RE: how do I ensure that all the 8 fields are exported (saved to the database, and displayed in forms and links?

By registering the fields… the data will be saved to the database. Try it. If you have successfully registered the fields, add a new entry. Add data in your custom fields. Save the entry. Now edit that entry, you will find the data saved to the database and can be edited.

RE: and displayed in forms and links?

To display in Form, Navigate to the Connections : Settings admin page and click the Form tab. Enable your metabox in the available options and save.

There is nothing special you need to do for link. :)

RE: I was able to see the single field when I exported the database, however this is not displayed in the front end.

Can you please describe how your are exporting the database?

To display the field in the template, please see the developer doc on how to display the custom field in a template. It has sample code. You will need to use it once per custom field that you registered.

RE: I’m unaware of a page caching plugin?

At the bottom of the page, in the source, it has this:

<!--Generated by Endurance Page Cache-->

After a quick Google search… it is installed by BlueHost.

Please try clearing the cache. If that does not work, try disabling it.

RE: it’s actually not a 404 I guess, it’s an “oops you blew up the internet”

Actually it is, your theme just happens to have a custom 404 page.

Let me know what you learn!

@ John

Does this still happen after you disabled the page caching plugin you are using?

@ Brett

Great to hear! I like when solutions to problems end up being simple.

Is the Connections plugin activated in the WordPress PLugins admin page?

@ Wolfgang

Navigate to the Connections : Templates admin page and activate the Default Entry Card template. Next, click the Customize button for the Default Entry Card template.

The page will reload with the Customizer on the left and a preview on the right. Click and entry name in the preview. Any name will do, it does not matter. The preview will refresh displaying the single entry profile detail view. Choose the options to display in the Customizer and Publish.

Exit the Customizer and then activate the Slim Plus template. The result will be as it is now, but with the changes you made displayed when you open an entry in a new window.

This works in this case because the Default Entry Card template is being used to display the single entry profile detail view.

Hope this helps!

At this time, there is no easy way to hide this field in the admin. If I am able to add the setting, I will, but, it will not be in the next update. It would possibly be in the update after that.

@ Kathy

Add map_zoom=15 to the existing shortcode on your directory page. The default zoom is 13. Valid values are 1 — 20.

The following list shows the approximate level of detail you can expect to see at each zoom level:

• 1: World
• 5: Landmass/continent
• 10: City
• 15: Streets
• 20: Buildings

Hope that helps!

RE: What is the purpose of the Title field under Links?

The link title is what will be displayed on the page instead of the link URL. If no title is supplied the URL will be displayed.

RE: Is there a way to get rid of it? I’m having trouble targeting it with CSS.

Use this CSS selector:

#cn-form-container .link-title-container {
    display: none;
}

I’ll see if I can add an option to disable it in the settings for the next update.

Hope this helps!
