Yes, all the premium templates include both a searchable category filter and a keyword search feature.

I hope this helps, let me know.

Ok, the settings look fine. You should be good to go.

Please see this FAQ on resetting the Connections role capabilities. There is at least one known plugin which resets these to the WordPress defaults on their plugin updates. This is a bad practice as many plugins far more popular than Connections also rely extensively on custom role capabilities.

Hope this helps, let me know.

Make sure the Link extension is activated. Navigate to the Connections Settings admin page and click the Display tab.

Scroll to the Result List Actions section. Enable the “View My Directory Entry” action link and “Edit my Directory Entry” entry action.

Scroll down to the Entry Actions section. Enable the “Edit My Directory Entry” action.

For more detailed instructions with screenshots, please see the Link configuration instructions.

Do not enable the “Submit New Entry” in the Result List actions as covered in the Form configuration. Leaving this option enable will allow user to submit unlimited number of entries. This is a feature, not a bug, which many users do utilize. I suspect this is how you are getting duplicates.

NOTE: The only way for a WP User to be linked to a Connections entry is if the WP User email address matches, exactly, the email address in the Connections entry they should be linked to. If there is no match, they will not be linked and instead will be able to submit their own linked entry. This also could cause a perceived duplicate.

NOTE: Linking the WP User with a Connections Entry only occurs when the user logs in. Not before.

Hope this helps!

ps. Leave the Chrome dev tools open as you are tweaking the CSS so you can see the results each time you load the page.

@ R

The likely reason is Chrome is using older cached version of your custom CSS. When working with CSS, always, open the Chrome dev tools by hitting the F12 key. Click the Network tab and enable the “Disable cache“. This forces Chrome to always fetch the files vs using the files from its cache.

When I visit your site in Chrome, since it is my first time to your site, the directory looks like you Firefox/Edge screenshot, not your Chrome screenshot.

Hope this helps!

RE: it was technically not possible for me to reply to your latest message.

You should login before posting. That way you will always be able to reply to your own tickets.

RE: if I understand correctly I have to choose between the image of the contact person and the logo. It is not possible to have both?

In the Default template, yes. You have to choose. In cMap, you can show both. One can be chosen to display in the bio section.

In any template, including the Default, you can add as many images as you wish in both the bio and notes fields. So, there are alternative options for displaying images other than to two “core” supported images.

Hope this helps!

ps. I’ll leave thich topic open for a while so you can respond to it if you need.

This is not really an issue with Connections… Google now requires an API key in order to access it Maps API. They’ve been transitioning to this requirement over the past year or so.

Here’s a link to a tutorial on how to create the required API keys:

• Get Google Maps API Keys

Hope this helps!

ps. I am presently working on adding a multi-service provider backend for Connections. The goal will to allow you as an end user to choose your maps provider. I plan on adding support for Google Maps, Bing Maps, Open Street Maps and Yandex Maps. Since all services require an API key and will charge for usage I figure it’ll be a good idea to allow you as a user to decide which provider you would like to use.

The first update to include these backend changes should land by the end of the week. You as an end user should not notice any functional difference … that will come in future updates.

This will also require updates to the templates. This should be a relatively minor update. Basically if no API key exists for any of the providers, no map will be displayed.

@ Marjoline

Navigate to the Connections Templates admin page and click the Customize button for the Default Entry template.

The page will reload showing the Customizer on the left and a preview on the right.

Click the back arrow in the upper right of the Customizer.

Now click the the Image panel.

When the panel opens you will see an option to choose the image type. Choose the Logo image type. Make any other changes you would like.

Publish the changes and exit the Customizer.

Hope this helps!

@ Heather

Apologies for the trouble! It seems back in 2013 when the original purchases were made, he license keys were not generated as they should have been. This has been corrected. You can view you license keys on your Purchase History page under the Licenses tab.

Hope this helps!
