Sorry, no, there is not a way to disable a map on a per entry basis. Something you can try though is putting the PO Box in address line 3 or 4. Those are not sent to Google (because they do not accept it) to calculate the map.

Hope this helps, let me know.

@ Sein

I’ve taken a look at your directory page. The reason you do not see the category drop down is because the page is using the Default Entry Card template and not the cMap template.

Navigate to the Connections : Templates admin page and activate the cMap template.

Does that correct it?

@ Sergio

Sorry, but I fear the web host is misleading you. There is no deprecated code in these places.

For example, here is the documentation for the ob_get_clean() PHP function. If it were deprecated there would be large warning indicating as such. Here is an example call_user_method().

And… the class.entry-object-collection class is brand new, just introduced in Connections this year and is modern.

In fact, a function being deprecated is not a bad thing. It is merely to let developers know that at some future point it will be removed. The whole point is to allow developers time to migrate code and release updates well in advance of a function being removed.

Now, back to the Fatal error: Out of memory error…

This is PHP telling you the memory allocated to PHP has been exhausted. Why the host is claiming deprecated code is puzzling since the error is very specific. Here’s a link to a tutorial how how to increase the memory allocated to PHP.

Just as important… learn which version of PHP the host is using to run your site. WordPress recommends version 7.1 because it runs WP much faster while being far more resource efficient. Many web hosts allow you to chose the version to run from right within their control panel. I would check there first and if you can not find it, ask their support channel.

Question… which site/page are you receiving this error message? If it is the site’s frontend directory. The page where you inserted the [connections] shortcode. If you are displaying many entries, let’s say more than a hundred. It is possible to get that error. If that is the case, you need a template which supports pagination. By default, they limit the display to 20 entries per page. This is for optimal performance and resource usage. This is not a Connections bug or limitation, There same would occur if you were to try to display that many WP posts on a single page.

Hope this helps!

That seems to indicate that WordPress did not fully install Connections. The only real solution is to deactivate and delete Connections and try installing it again. If WP fails to do that, use your web host’s file manage in their control panel to delete the following folder:

../wp-content/plugins/connections/

If WP fails to install fully again, download the install zip from wp.org. Unzip it on your desktop and use FTP to copy to the ../wp-content/plugins/connections/ folder.

Now, if WP is having trouble installing, the source of the issue is likely the resources allocated to PHP. I would suggest following these tutorials:

• How do I increase the PHP Execution Limit?
• How do I increase the WordPress Memory Limit?

I would also check to make sure your site is not “full”. Many web host do limit the file storage limit you are permitted to use.

Lastly, I would check the PHP version use to run your site. I highly recommend PHP version 7.1. It runs WP much faster while being far more resource efficient. Many web hosts allow you to choose the PHP version to run in their control panel.

I hope this helps, let me know.

Ok, I’ve managed to narrow down the issue. This being a cMap and/or an output buffering error was a red herring. I’m not even certain this is a Connections issue…

After about an hour or so I tracked a problem displaying the entry logo. After I disable the display of the logo in cMap, everything began working in as far as displaying the directory on the pages is concerned.

I tried editing a few entries. Some only displayed a blank white empty page. I assume these entries have a logo and/or photo attached to them.

Then I tried adding new images to the Media Library and it seems only the smallest of images would actually upload correctly. Normal and large sized images would fail to upload with WordPress reporting a HTTP error. So WP is having trouble with images too. Which would not be surprising that this would affect Connections since Connections uses many of the WP image related functions.

I suspect this may be a PHP memory issue. I see you have that set to 256MB. It is possible to set a high value like this but the web host is enforcing a “hard limit”. Perhaps the web host is actually limiting memory usage to much less than the set 256MB. You’ll have to ask their support team about that.

A couple things to try…

If the web host allows you to choose the PHP version to run on your site in their control panel. I suggest setting it to PHP version 7.1. It runs WP much faster and is far more resource efficient.

You could also try setting the WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT to 256MB or even 512MB.

I hope this helps, let me know!

@ Tony

It seems unlikely Connections would be the cause because it does not do anything during a post/page save. Well, there is one small this it does, it check for the [connections] shortcode and cleans up common errors. But that only occurs when the shortcode is on the page.

Perhaps there is somehow a conflict with another plugin where this manifests only when both are active during a save. Have you tried deactivating other plugins while Connections is activate?

Please create a temp admin account with this plugin:

Reply back, as a private reply, with the token login URL. I’ll take a closer look and hope fully find the cause and solution.

The link does not seem to be valid. I’m not able to login with it.

@ Age

Ok, I see, the example helps! The wiki link made it seem like a middle name. But now as read it again with your example it is more clear. I’ve logged this as a feature request. I can not give an answer on when/if this would be added at this time.

@ Duncan

Set it up exactly as your test account or exactly as one of your site users. I need to see exactly what your test account and your user sees.

Additionally… also create a temp admin account using this plugin:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

Reply back, as a private reply, with both the test account login details and the temp login token URL.

[Steven Zahm]

@ Age

Use any fake email address, it does not matter for this account since it is a temp account which will be deactivated and deleted. I only need the login token URL.
