I have only two thoughts…

Form uses jQuery Validate to do its validation. It is possible that is may be overriding your pattern.

Make sure you are using a browser that support it, otherwise it will not have any effect at all. Browser coverage is still rather weak.

Installing Connections will not solve it. Are you permitted to create folders via FTP with WPEngine. I imagine you are allowed permitted.

“slugglishly” … The site loads between 2 and 3 seconds on average [according to Pingdom] which a fairly typical of a site that isn’t heavily cached/optimized. I’d say that’s pretty good considering I’m running over 75 plugins and a heavy theme. On my dev site where only TwentyTwelve and Connections is loaded, it is very fast. So I know all the plugins and the theme are responsible. I’ve optimized as much as I could. The only item I can yet do is implement full page caching, then I’d get get 1 sec loads but I’ve found that the cart plugin doesn’t work as well. You might want to look into caching plugins and/or using Cloudflare.

In as far as Connections is concerned, its queries are no slower than the ones run by WordPress itself. That is something I do pay close attention to. I do have some plans to make some minor optimizations using object caching and partial page caching for Connections related items, but I don’t really anticipate any type of substantial improvement from it.

If you have a moment, I’d true appreciate a review. Many thanks in advance!

@ anindex

One thing you can do. Please take a few screenshots of what the errors are. That will guide me on what I need to do to fix them.

I found the issue. It was actually a bug in the theme. The bug is in the login.php file found here: ../PennyTheme/lib/login_register/login.php.

On line 385 they are calling the wp_login action, but they are nor passing the $user object which causes Link to fail as it needs that object and they really should be passing it. This would break any plugin that relies on that object in this action.

I fixed the file by changing this:
do_action('wp_login', $user_login);

To this:
do_action('wp_login', $user_login, $user);

That should fix it.

Yes, cMap does have 60 or so customization options. Please checkout the link. You said your last developer customized the template for your needs … they did that by editing the code of the template, not by using the supported options. In effect, you no longer have cMap, you have your template. I can not possibly know what code changes were made and what must be done to fix it. I suspect if the code of cMap was not changed, you would not be having an issue right now. I will not definitely know that until cMap is installed.

My suggestion to get you back into working order is this…

You make a backup copy your template any way you see fit. Send me a temp admin account using the contact link at the bottom of the page. I’ll install cMap. If the issue persists with the template reinstalled, then I’ll work further to figure out the problem. If the problem is fixed by installing cMap, then you’ll have to decide to use as is with the supported options or get ahold of your dev to fix your template.

@ Dave

Sure, you could recreate a near exact replica if you wanted to create a custom template for Connections. The two items that are not current possible if the filter by character, that will be coming later this summer to Connections, and the directory breadcrumb which is planned for Connections but I can not commit to when it’ll arrive.

If you want something more plugin and play, really, even though it is not a visual match, cMap would be a great template to use for your client.

Hope that helps.

@ Steve

Still sounds like a browser cache issue even though you’ve cleared it. Other possibilities… Do you have any page caching plugins installed? Are you using a CDN service such Cloudflare?

Have you tried uploading the image but with a different filename? That would definitely force a reload if the issue is cache related.

@ Steve

The web host configuration is preventing Connection from creating those folders automatically on activation. You’ll have to manually create those two folders and set the permissions so they are writable. I would try 755 first and then 767 if needed.

Hope that helps.

If you have time for a review, I would truely appreciate it! Many thanks in advance.
