Try this CSS instead:

#cn-gridder div.cn-left + div.cn-clear,
#cn-gridder div.cn-biography + div.cn-clear {
    clear: none;
}
#cn-gridder .cn-left {
    float: none;
}
#cn-gridder .cn-right {
    margin-left: 20px;
}

No problem, glad I was able to help!

@ Steven

Ok, I understand better now. What you want to do is possible but would require some custom code to accomplish.

Open the card-single.php file found here:
../wp-content/plugins/connections-gridder/

Add this line of code on line 106:

$entry->getCategoryBlock( array( 'child_of' => x ) );

x in the line of code must be replaced with the Connections category ID you want to display the children of. In your case the Person category.

This will list the categories, but they will not be links. For that you will need the Enhanced Categories extension.

Hope this helps!

ps. if you decide to do this code change, it is highly recommended to use a custom template override file to make the cahnge update safe.

Ok, try adding this to the theme’s custom CSS area:

#cn-gridder div.cn-left + div.cn-clear,
#cn-gridder div.cn-biography + div.cn-clear {
    clear: none;
}

Hope this helps!

re: I have made no changes to the template or page since Jan 2016. What could be causing this problem and how do I fix it?

I’ve seen this before… the cause, generally always the theme. The theme dev for some reason decides to globally change the HTML span element from an inline element to a block level element. In you case, it is something different…

Navigate to the Connections : Settings admin page and click the Advanced tab. Scroll down to the bottom and enable the Template option in the Compatibility section. This fixes instance where the theme or another plugin improperly make changes to the core WordPress wpautop filter.

Hope this helps!

@ hatton

I logged in and took a quick look. It seems you disabled the CSS option in the Advanced settings admin page. Only disable this if you wish to write your own custom CSS.

Hope this helps!

re: I’d like to add tags on entries to have a second way to filter entries on personal interests.

Take a look at this site, the “Find A Therapist” section:

https://sscit.org/

This is an advanced search… which when installed and configured allow user to filter by multiple categories. For example, it could be setup on your site to allow user to search by the categories and Personal category children. Would this be a workable solution?

re: How can change (delete, add) hobbies in your list (this one is very long but doesn’t correspond to my needs – And I need to add hobbies in french)?

Probably the best way would be add/remove them via PHP using a filter. It rather technical if you do not know PHP.

re: I’d like to have link on each hobby to filter and display all entries having this hobby (like a tag with posts).

These are saved as metadata, not tags or category so there is no real good way to sort and filter by them.

re: I don’t use sidebar in my website. Is there way to add this widget at the bottom of the entries (after the Notes field)?

Navigate to the Connections : Settings admin page and click the Display tab. Scroll down to the Single Entry Content Block section and enable the Hobbies option. The hobbies will now be displayed on the single entry page after the notes or map if there is one.

Hope I have fully answered your questions!

@ David

Are you talking about that little bit of whitespace before the bio and notes sections? If you are I think that looks rather good as it provides some eye relief by not clumping all the text together.

If that is the issue, if you can share a link to the directory page, I can take a look and give you some CSS to close that space up. The reason I need acces is because the theme might be adding the space so I need to see what is required to override the associated style.

@ melodie

Sorry, no, not this time. What can be done… you can export your users user a user export plugin. For example the Export User Data plugin. This is not an endorsement of this plugin, just the first one that popped up in a quick Google search.

You can then edit the data as needed in the CSV file and import it using the CSV Import extension.

It may be a little more cumbersome to do, but it could be good… Entries in Connections need a first and last name which are not required for WP user accounts so you may find many or most of you users will need to have that added before you can import.

Hope this helps!

Sorry, no, there is no graphical search option available.
