@ Robert

That does indeed seem to be a regression introduced in the 8.16 update of Connections. This will be corrected in the next update.

In regards to the PHP notice… please see this FAQ on PHP notices and warning. It is a best practice not to display these on live public sites. The FAQ covers how to disable them on your site.

Hope this helps!

Connections does not have a redirect on login type of feature. I see you have BuddyPress, Jetpack and Paid Memberships Pro. I suspect it is one of those plugins which is doing the redirect on login.

Hope that helps!

@ Phil

Technically possible yes, but, it would require editing the template’s PHP file.

@ Phil

Here’s the link to the docs for Circled which has the instructions to enable the category drop down select feature.

Hope this helps! Let me know.

RE: I would like to change the “sent from”and the “reply to” fields so that the emails don’t register as suspicious

I’m guessing you mean in Gmail, correct? Simple solution, don’t send an email to yourself. When the from and to are the same, Gmail will flag that. Second, you should setup your site to use an email host provider. I personally use SendGrid. When properly setup the emails will be signed which mean it will be far less likely to be flagged as spam and marked suspicious (unless you send to yourself ;) )

RE: but allow recipients to reply directly to the sender.

This is already how Contact functions. The from/reply to address is from the sender and sent to is the email address of the entry the email is being sent to.

RE: set reply to

This code will not work:

//Set reply to.
$email->reply(
    sanitize_email( $_POST['email'] ),
    sanitize_text_field( $_POST['name'] )
    );

The reason is because there is not reply() function. Since the Connections email class is simply a wrapper for the core WordPress wp_mail() function you would setup the reply to address similarly. Not tested…

$email->header( ‘Reply-To: Person Name person.name@example.com‘ );

Of course you would need to change the above to populate with the variables. But there is no need because the reply to address will default to the from address.

Hope this helps!

I was finally able to replicate the error occuring on your site on my test site. I just pushed an updated beta version, 2.1-beta2.

Repeat the process from my previous reply to update to that version. This also corrects the update loop. It was a simple typo on my part, I did not bump the internal version version so it would report that an update was available even though it was already installed.

Hope this helps, please let me know.

@ Stephen

Please try this…

• Navigate to the Connections : Settings admin page.
• Click the Beta Versions tab.
• Enable beta support for the Excerpt Plus template.
• Navigate to the WordPress Updates admin page, this will make WordPress check for updates.
• Navigate to the Plugins admin page. The beta update for the Excerpt Plus template should be available to you. Click update link. This should update to the latest beta.

Does the issue persist?

Great to hear your have it working now. I had initially wondered if the issue was that the core Connections plugin was not installed, but when I visited the site, it was. I guess you had already installed Connections again.

The 8.16 version was just released on 3/30 … Connections is updated pretty frequently sometimes as much as 2–3 times a month.

Hope this helps!

@ Cynthia

It does appear both Connections and the Slim Plus template are active when I visit your site. Perhaps another plugin is hiding the admin menu??? Please try this:

• How do I check for a plugin conflict?
• How do I check for a theme conflict?

Hope this helps! Please let me know.

@ Etienne

RE: Directory home page is set and [connections] is included there, but still no edit of template possible.

You might want to try the troubleshooting tips to see if there is a conflict:

• How do I check for a plugin conflict?
• How do I check for a theme conflict?

Hope this helps!
