re: Loving your Connections Suite of plugins (I’ve even given you props on Twitter)!

Thanks!!!

re: We need to help a couple of the categories in the dropdown menu standout, so how can we add some CSS such as background colors and font-size?

The CSS I gave will change the color. Here it is again all in one snippet:

#cn-list .chosen-container-single .chosen-single {
    background: black !important;
    border: black !important;
}

#cn-list .chosen-container-single .chosen-default {
    color: white !important;
}

#cn-list .chosen-container-single .chosen-single {
    color: white !important;
}
#cn-list .chosen-container .chosen-results .active-result.highlighted {
    background: black !important;
}

Tweak the color as desired.

As for change the size and font size… this is actually a third party library with some very complicated CSS selectors… changing these will be anything but straightforward and very time involved. Sorry, but I do not have code available to do this and it would take me the better part of a day to write which is beyond what I can do for support. Hope you understand.

@ Alice

What about the PHP error logs like I had suggested? After making the changes, what does the error say now? I suspect the changes are not actually being applied. The way PHP works you can set the values to anything you want, but the webhost can “hard limit” or prevent any actual changes from being applied.

I’m curious as to what the error log will say now.

You can always manage your own license on your purchase history page under the licenses tab. See this FAQ, the “License Activated on Another Site” section on how to manage a license that was activated on another site.

After you follow the instructions in the FAQ you will be able to activate the license on your site on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Licenses tab.

I have manually deactivate the site you license for you. To activate on you new dev site navigate to the Connections : Settings admin page, click the Licenses tab, enter your support license key and then click the Activate button.

Hope that helps!

It’s on my feature request list already, promise :). I have real major concerns about even attempting to add it because I do have many users which have hundreds of thousands of entries and such a system is not scalable to those numbers, easily. When I do add this, I will first test to see how Yoast handles it… I suspect Yoast simply does not include that many posts/pages in the sitemap or worse, just crashes because the server does not have enough resources to handle it. It’ll be interesting to learn.

Like I’ve mentioned Google will index the entries just fine, I’ve gone thru great lengths to ensure it does and that is what is truly important. By far the most important thing is that your site has quality content, kept fresh as that is the most important factor for your site rank in the index. If you do not have that, it does not matter what the sitemap contains or does not contain.

Great to hear!

re: It appears that we are all good now Steven, thanks for the quick response. Is there anything that I should do if this happens again? I am now migrating my sites to the Google Cloud, could that be part of the issue?

Good to hear this is resolved. I believe the issue stems from an upgrade to the licensing software (third party software) on my side. The update was quite substantial and they must have changed they way validation is handled. I basically told the software that your license was unlimited again, even though it already was.

If it happens again, just contact me… hopefully it does not happen again!

re: from what you know about the Google Cloud server, would you consider that a server that could handle the maximum capacity that the Connections directory could handle, say 20,000 or so entries?

Actually I do not know anything about the Google Cloud servers… I would expect even a mid-priced standard web host to easily handle 20K entries. That said, I would imagine a Google Cloud server instance, properly configured and scaled should be able to handle way more than that. Not sure how much of an answer that is, but I hope that helps!

@ James

Odd because it has been allowing you to activate, according to the logs any way. I made an adjustment which should address the issue. Please try again. Let me know if the issue persists.

@ Shannon

Are you by chance using the Restrict Content Pro plugin? Another user is reporting that plugin is blocking (restricting) uploads. I’m researching as to why.

@ Casper

Make sure you have enter profile info into the entry’s bio field. The Bio content tray will not display its link if there is nothing to display in the bio.

Hope this helps!

@ Leah

The only option would be to edit the templates PHP files. If you are comfortable doing this, I can provide some guidance. Let me know. Hope this helps!
