The double drop down is being caused by the theme including it’s own drop down enhancement. Unfortunately they choose to have it affect all drop downs instead of only the one that belong to the theme. The only real choice here is to disable the one with the theme.

The submit button CSS of the template is being overridden by theme too. This should be easier to fix, but I’ll need a link to your actual directory to offer a working solution.

Actually I have to look into this deeper. There’s code in place to try and catch this. It’s not template issue.

Also, you could change the permalink. You’re just using the default setting. WP has a system in place called canonical redirect, it’ll figure out the correct URL, provide the 301 response and redirect to the correct link. Go ahead and give it a try for a few minutes … testing your links.

The photo, when when is uploaded for an entry, will show up in the bio field. Can you paste the exact shortcode you’re using here?

@Nancy Proctor

You haven’t activated cMap yet. The Bio Entry Card template does not have the category filter feature.

The answer really depends on the template you’re using. If you can share a link to your directory, I can give you a working example.

Here’s a link to the order_by option. This option gives you many ways to order the list.

Sorry, but I don’t think I can answer that as I’m not an SEO expert. What I can tell you is explained this QuickTip.

Search engines should follow the pagination links of the directory. And to be even more certain, assuming your categories are states, you could create a menu link to each state. Alternatively, if you were very consistent with your naming of states when inputting addresses, you could use URI/s like the following when creating links: /directory/region/PA

directory would be the actual page your directory is on.
region can be changed to state on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Advanced tab.

What this URI does is filter the directory on the state field in addresses.

Ok, I see. After clicking on another category after being on a page greater than 1 under the “All Categories” option doesn’t reset the page count if there isn’t a second page to display under the newly chosen category.

Does this also happen when you turn on pretty permalink support? You should have that on for better SEO.

Open the templates.php file found here:
../wp-content/connections_templates/cmap

Change these two lines:

//$entry->getDateBlock();
//$entry->getLinkBlock();

To this:

$entry->getDateBlock();
$entry->getLinkBlock();

Save the files and upload it saving over top of the original file. Pretty easy right?

If, you’re randomly clicking quickly … on every click you’re submitting a form submission so you could be seeing the results of a previous click without the latest click actually being submitted.

@dennisnederlof

Which version of PHP are your running? Can you attached a copy of your error logs so I can take look? Can you try activating Connections while deactivating all other plugins to see if the issue persists.
