RE: The View All Button is not working if you choose to show an empty category.

I’m sorry, I do not understand what you mean here. Could you give more details and perhaps link to an example so I can see?

RE: Does the View all link only work for each category or for the overall directory

The answers, depends… the view all link will show the entire directory if you have no shortcode options limiting what is displayed. So, if you are using the [connections] shortcode with no options, yes, it’ll display all the entries by name. If you have used shortcode options such as the category shortcode option, then the view all link will be limited to the category defined by the option.

RE: We want them to either search or click View All to see the listings. What’s the best way to accomplish this?

Sorry, but Connections is designed to show results them allow the user to refine what is displayed to them. The closest solution available is covered in this tutorial on Show No Entries Until User Performs a Search. As noted on the tutorial this is not supported nor has it been thoroughly tested, so your results may vary. That said, many users do use it to their satisfaction.

Hope this helps!

@ Olaf

The hotfix I applied seems to have corrected the issue. Please confirm?

@ Olaf

I think I have identified the issue. I would like to apply a hotfix to your site prior to releasing an update to confirm that the change corrects the issue. To do this I’ll need a temp WP admin login. The details can be posted here as a private reply.

RE: I am searching for a plugin that show the members of our self emplyed community to the public, with a circled phote plus some introductions like Name, Place, Function, Website, Social links AND with a link (rather a pop up) with extra info about them

The closest template available that meets these requirements is the Circled template. See the demo.

It does not show the website in the list view or use a popup to display additional details. It does show the website on the profile. The email and social media link are shown as icons under the photo.

RE: a search box so visitors can find them at their key words on front page as well as in the pop up or maybe a new memberwebpage.

The Circle template does support a keyword search field and can be enabled. This keyword search is placed above the direct on the same page.

If you would like to put a search field on other pages, the Widget Pack includes a search widget which can be placed in the theme’s sidebar.

Hope this helps!

You’ve have to create a PHP function to do this.

You would the wpdb API to select the phone_numbers field from the primary table.
Then you would loop thru the results unserializing the array data, performing the PHP equivalent of CONCAT, serialize the array and update the row in the database.

Hope this helps!

@ Melissa

Are they any error message or any other messages being shown?

See this tutorial on how to safely changes strings in Connections. Most strings in Form are shared from Connections, such as the one you wish to change. There are some Form specific strings. In that case you would use connections_form as the textdomain. My suggestion would always try with the connections textmain first and then try connections_form if it has no effect.

Another option not mentioned that I quite like… Install the Loco Translate plugin. Make a new US English translation for both Connections and Form. You can then even more easily change strings in both because this plugin allows you to quickly search for strings that you want to translate (or change). If you go this route, you do not even need to keep Loco active after making the changes. Make sure you choose the System location so you changes are update safe.

Hope that help!

Please see this FAQ on Why is nothing being imported?. The second paragraph explains what is happening and why and how to address it.

Also, try the beta of the CSV Import one of the major improvements in feedback doing the import process. It also include a code tweak to workaround this common issue.

To receive the beta navigate to the Connections : Settings admin page and click the the Beta tab. Opt in to the CSV Import beta. Next navigate to the WordPress Updates admin page and click the “Check Again” button. That should force WordPress to check for updates for the CSV Import and present it as an option allowing you to update to it. If it does not show as an option, you may have to wait an hour before WordPress allows for the update check to happen again. After it does, the update will display on the WordPress Plugins admin page.

Hope this helps!

I would look for plugin conflicts. I suspect that another plugin is causing the parsing failure in ezTOC.

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

@ Michael

Well, the first thing you would need to do is deactivate and delete Connections from your site since they are still presently installed.
