Navigate to the Connections : Templates admin page and click the Customize button for the Default Template.

The page will refresh displaying the Customizer on the right and a preview on the left.

Click the back arrow in the upper right of the Customizer. Now click the image panel.
Change the image options as desired.

Important, in the preview click and entry name so the preview will refresh displaying the single entry profile view. These instructions are displayed in the preview above the directory in more detail.

Now, make you image choices again. Both template view are configured independently for great customization.

Finally Publish the changes and exit the Customizer.

Hope this helps!

RE: Why would I want a non-approved entry, which is not public/unlisted, to appear in the search drop-down but yield no results?

How long do you expect an entry submission to remain in the moderation queue? A day or so? It does not seem practical to include an expensive table join for a query which in most cases will not be needed.

The default WordPress “Subscriber” role is what you should assign. It gives the user now additional permissions to the site other than being able to edit their display name and password. And, of course their directory entry in this case.

Oh, forgot to mention… you’ll have to refresh the page at least once before doing a search so WordPress updates the page with the correct code.

Ok, I see. I tested the keyword search added by the Circled template which worked as expected. The Simple Search widget does (did) indeed have a bug. The directory page on the same page as the WordPress Front Page is a special case due to the way WordPress handles the front page internally. The template search took this into account properly, the widget did not. I’ve applied a “hotfix” the widget on your site. It now functions as expected when the directory of on the front page.

Apologies for the trouble!

RE: Nothing is showing up. I added the search feature to the “People sidebar” which is the directory for staff and faculty yet no search bar appears. Any suggestons?

hard for me to say… displaying a widget is a function of the theme. Are you certain you place the widget in the correct sidebar? Does you site use some form of page caching? If it does try clearing it.

I took a look and ti does appear to be working fine. I noticed you had the word text in a couple bios — here’s a link to you directory which filters the results by test:

RE: List Horiz. instead of vert. Country State Keyword

Altering the style of drop downs is challenging… I use a third party library called Select2 to enhance the drop down selects. It is what enables the autocomplete and the “chained select” of country->state. Select2 uses rather complex markup to achieve these features which is turn make it very challenging to style. This is why I only offer it styled as is.

That said this might work:

#cn-multi-category-search span.select2.select2-container {
    width: 200px !important;
}

#cn-cat-select div {
    display: inline-block;
}

RE: Reduce field font size to match size of fonts above.

Maybe this will work:

#cn-multi-category-search .select2-container--sscit .select2-selection--single .select2-selection__rendered {
    font-size: 18px !important;
}

RE: Change “State” field to State/Province/County

This can be done only by using the Say What? plugin. Follow this tutorial but use cn_multi_category_search for the text domain.

RE: Enable country AutoComplete in registration

I’m assuming you are using Form for your users to submit their entry, yes?

If that is the case, navigate to the Connections : Settings admin page and click the Fieldset Configuration tab. Scroll down to the Address section. Enable the Autocomplete Country option.

Hope this helps a little.

@ Stephanie

Sorry, no this is not possible. Many users upload “default” image in these cases. More technical users/devs use CSS to add a default image.

Hope this helps!

@ Stipe

After you install and activate the plugin. Activate your suport license.

Now, navigate to Appearance > Widgets page in the WordPress admin. Here you will find the Connections widgets along with all the other widgets that the theme and lother plugins have registered with WordPress. Click on the Connections Simple Search widget and then choose the sidebar in the theme to place the widget.

After you do that, the search widget will display live on your site.

I see you have broken the directory across many pages on your site — the search will only be applied to the page set as the directory home page on the Connections : Settings admin page under the General tab. I would highly suggest choosing a page which displays all the entries within your directory.

Hope this helps!
