Unfortunately this is not CSS related. The theme is altering how the wpautop filter is being applied so it is adding extra p tags where they shouldn’t. And this negatively affects every plugin, not just Connections, that put content on the page. It’s just really noticeable with Connections because of the amount of content it outputs.

Can I get a copy of the theme. I can take a look at the code to see what the theme author is doing?

Also, I see you’re using the LIZATOM SHORTCODES WORDPRESS PLUGIN. Looking at the CSS for that plugin it seems like it adds column shortcodes. The code many theme devs employ is from a tutorial. I wonder if this plugin uses the same code. I know you said you deactivated all plugins, but can you try deactivating this plugin again?

Sorry, there is not.

Well, we’re going to have to isolate the issue in case it is not being caused by the theme.

First, above you said [nofollow], you mean [noformat], right?

Second, deactivate all plugins to see if that resolves the issue. If it doesn’t, then the cause is definitely the theme. If deactivating the plugins do fix the issue, then you have a plugin negatively affecting the page content.

700 hundred, all on one page? I hope you’re using using some page caching. Connections uses a little javascript to do the loading effect. The delay is only 1/10 of a sec. But if you have 700 images all on one page, I guess that works out to about 70 seconds … actually scratch that …

Which template are you using? If you’re using one of the default templates, those images will show right away. Only the templates that create the images on the fly have the loading effect, which then the above would apply. But if you’re using one of those templates and you have that many entries, I think you would better suited to use one that support paginated results.

Sorry, for rambling on, but I’m going to need a few more details before I can give a solution. Can you share a link to your directory?

Yes, search is only enabled in select premium templates because Connections does not integrate with the default WordPress search. any of the template for sale that has a search input field as part of the sample on the product page has search.

@ kroussel

Yep, that’ll work. Glad to hear you figured it out.

Try setting the permissions of the index.html file in:
/wp-content/connection_images/ to 767.

Being responsive is the responsibility of the theme. Plugins that add content to a page via shortcode can, at best, use fluid layout designs. Responsive designs are based on screen size. The screen size will define which CSS rules are applied. Since Connections templates are in a page the available width is determined by the available content width of the page defined by the theme’s CSS and not the screen size. So applying CSS rules based on screen size can be problematic. cMap does contain a few rules that are applied on small screens such as smartphone … but for those rules to be effective, it is being “assumed” that the theme is going to do the right thing and make the page content width the width of the screen. Ok, so what does this have to do with images…

The default image width is 300px which is less than the portrait width of current smartphones so there is no reason to force the width of the image to be smaller. Ok, so what about on large screens, you can make the image larger right? Technically yes, I could use some CSS for a larger screen and swap in the larger image. But … what is the width of the page content, you can’t get that value with CSS. So a larger image could break the layout without knowing the page content width. Now, javascript could be used to get the parent container width, however, that itself presents another whole set of challenges with solutions that may or may not work depending on the current theme.

With all that said, the current method is for maximum compatibility.

Not sure I see the CSS issue you want addressed. Both sites look the same with the exception of of the font-family and the color of the link text. My suggestions are if you’re using page caching and/or cloudFlare, make sure you flush the cache and also flush your browser cache to make sure you’re loading the latest version of the CSS file.

Hope that helps.

Similar questions …

Which template are you using?, Search is only enabled in select premium templates. So if you’re trying to search using a default template using the WordPress search, that will not work. Connections search is separate from the WordPress search. Have you checked your settings on the Connections : Settings admin page?

The theme’s style.css file. All themes have them as they are a required file.
