Here’s a link to a tutorial which covers how to change labels and other text in Connections.

Hope this helps!

Login to your site with FTP and navigate to the image file path? Does the folder and image actually exist? If it does, then it could be file/folder permissions issue on the server. Do other image appear fine?

re: there is no way and there never has been a way to have the thumbnail be a link to the individual profile, such as the “View Profile” link?

Yes, that is correct.

@ Paul

It’s possible you are receiving a cached message. Try removing the key, leaving the field blank and then saving the changes. Now, input the key and activate. Has that corrected the error?

Also, took a quick look at your site. Seems you have version 0.8.9 of Connections installed.. that is over 3 years old. “Modern version of Connections no longer use the class.upload.php library. I suspect your webhost has upgraded their PHP version and that version of the library is no longer compatible. If you are unable to upgrade Connections for some reason, you could try an inplace upgrade of the class.upload.php library.

What are the exact file names of the photos you are trying to upload? I seems they have characters in them which not not file system safe. Perhaps slashes or something???

I do have a solution available for purchasers of the Extension Pro Pack and the Pro Pack.

It adds a shortcode which outputs a link/button (depending on the theme’s styles). It has options to set the link CSS class so you can assign it to a theme style. It’ll allow the users which have the core WP export capability, which by default on the admin role has. You could use a role manage plugin like Members (I think that is the name) to give your user role the export capability. So this sounds like it could work for your requirements.

re: Are there functions available to search entries in the directory?

cnRetrieve::search()

re: I’m interested in passing a search query and getting either a JSON or structured response.

Unfortunately you would have to build that yourself at the moment.

re: any of the rest endpoints live?

The category endpoint is live, but is likely broken at the moment. You can uncomment all the line in code in this file, the four includes and the 3 lines in the controller array to enable what I have for the rest of the endpoints. Honestly not all that usable but, it’ll give you a good idea where I’m going.

re: So the individual’s page does not have multiple [connections] shortcodes on it.

The individual entry page is not different from the page where you have input all the shortcodes. Or, put another way… it is the exact same page. So, those 6 shortcodes, they exist on both the list view and the entry view (since it is the same page).

If you follow the instructions I have provided in my previous reply, you will achieve the results you’re looking for. Promise.

Hope that helps~

Looks like you used the [connections] shortcode on the same page multiple times. Connections is designed to be used on that page a single time. You can do this, but you’ll need two pages…

Edit the page and look in the browser’s address bar for the page ID that WP assigns the page.

Create a second page and name it “Person” (name is not relevant). In this new page’s content use this shortcode:

[connections home_id=y]

Where y equals the page ID of the original page.

After you public the page, take note of the new page’s ID and add home_id=x' to every shortcode instance on the original page. Where x equals the second page’s ID.

Hope that helps.

ps. Fun fact, I use to detect this and “clear” the page’s content to only display the single entry no matter how many times the shortcode was used. But, due to the rise of page builders that had to be removed because “clearing” the page would also clear the page builder layout.
