You know… I forgot/didn’t know or something… but you have Enhanced Categories installed. It’s a simple settings change on the Connections : Settings admin page under the display tab. Change the Display Style option under the “The following settings are used to configure the display of the categories assigned to an entry.” section from List to Block. Mission complete (I hope :) )!

Hope that helps!

Have you updated to 8.6.2? If not, please do as it made a minor but important change to the date format for the date picker so it can properly be parsed and saved.

Let me know if that helps!

@ Don

You need to update your shortcode on the directory home page. Here’s the instructions.

@ Jennifer

You say version 8.6 … does the issue persist on version 8.6.2? It was an update I released on Friday that corrected a regression when querying the entry addresses more than once which would cause addresses not to be displayed if they were queried with different filters. Basically 8.6.2 reset the filters for each query. A small but very importing bug.

Let me know.

Hmmm… odd. Can I get a temp WP admin login so I can take a closer look? Login details can be posted here as a private reply.

What is the exact shortcode you used on the page?

re: Is any of this normal? If not, any idea what could be causing these glitches?

Nope, not normal. Looks like the glossary plugin you’re using is rewriting HTML for the Energy category.

re: the Finance Category has several sub-categories and when the grid is enabled through Settings > Display, clicking on this tile should display the sub-categories grid, Banking, Credit Unions, Investments etc… but when using it as a shortcode only reloads the top level image grid.

Enable the Display Children option on the settings admin page.

re: To complement the image grid I am using sidebars with your widgets,

The theme is stomping over the widget styles abit. Try adding this to the theme’s custom CSS area:

ul.cn-cat-tree.cnw-style-accordion li.cn-cat-parent a {
    line-height: inherit !important;
}

re: but this means that the titles are way too large for the smaller tiles. I don’t suppose there’s a way of reducing the size of the font of the tile labels, is there?

I suggest hiding the count to reduce label length.

Also, you can add this CSS to the theme’s custom CSS area:

ul.cn-category-image-container .cn-category-image-block span.cn-term-name {
font-size: 12px !important;
}

Tweak as desired.

Hope this helps!

After some testing on your site… and this is weird.

A short bio (or any field in Connections) with + will work (or seem to), longer text which include + in the text fail. As soon as they are removed there are no issues.

I can not replicate this, but I’m running a far newer version of Connections. So that could mean something though I’m not sure why it would.

The only other thing I can think of is that for some reason it is triggering a mod_sec PHP setting the web host has setup. I’m not certain that’s either because posts/pages can be created just fine with the same text whether or not + are in it. I would expect, unlist those were whitelisted, that the mod_sec rule would be triggered too.

When I get FTP access, I’ll take another look.

I also suggest asking your web host wy a form submission would trigger a 403 on your site with that content. Maybe they have some insight. I do doubt you will get a decent answer though, generally tech support can not answer such technical question (in my experience anyway).
