re: When I press the view profile button, and get to the redirected page. The page is not displayed in full page, it is on the left side of the page (see attachment ‘test’). How can I change it?

This is the theme, not Connections. It has space on the right for a sidebar. If the theme has the option… Edit the page where you inserted the [connections] shortcode, select the full width page template. This will only be an option if the theme supports it as an page template option.

re: I want the photos to be displayed only on the profile photo not on the category page when you press + .

Put the photos in the Notes field. I think if you set the panel excerpt length to p it will only display the first paragraph as the excerpt. If it does not, the only other option would be to edit the template’s PHP files and right code to strip the image tags. The easiest solution would just to put the images in the notes field.

Hope this helps!

Yes, you’ll need one of the premium templates. Loading 250+ entries on a page will be slow. This is not really a bug or limitation in Connections. If you were to try to load 250+ WordPress pages or posts on a single page, it too, would load very slowly. Likely much slower than loading those entries.

Hope I have answered your question.

re: Do you know if there are settings within Avada that can interfere?

None that I am aware of. The older version I have works fine so they must have made a change. If you can give me a copy for testing. I can track down and probably add a compatibility fix (assuming this is something I can fix from my side).

I do have a new add-on which can do exactly this. It is beta and will be improved in time. You can add it to the cart here..

There’s no info for it yet but usage is very easy. When installed and activated a new box on the add/edit admin page will display for a URL. Adding a URL to this will override the core entry link to be the entered URL.

I would consider this a functional beta. If you decide to purchase it, let me know any bugs you find or feature requests.

Hope this helps!

re: I just can’t figure out how can I make the search box and the filter drop down lists taller.

You can use the following to change the height of the search input.

#cn-search-input {
    height: 60px;
}

input#cn-search-submit {
    height: 60px;
}

Changing the height of the category select drop down will be anything but easy. It would likely take my most the day to come up with the CSS to change it.

re: I would like to put the two boxes one next to the other.

The following should do it:

#cn-cmap .cn-search {
    float: none;
}

You’ll have to tweak these to suit. Hope that helps.

@ Jeremy

Example column headers Home Address | Visibility and Phone | Home Phone | Visibility

I suggest adding a single test entry adding the fields you plan to import and then exporting that CSV file ( Connections : Tools / Export Tab ) and use the headers from that file for the file you plan on importing.

Hope that helps!

Looking at the load time for the home page vs the rep page vs the rep page being filtered by category, I see less than a second difference of page load time. About 8–10secs total.

I would say there is negligible performance impact, which is expected.

It takes the server about 3sec just to start sending data to the browser. You should shoot for half a second, max, for the best SEO and user experience. Server side cache will help a lot.

Seems there are two CSS file blocking page loading from the theme, causing a 4sec load delay.

• ../wp-content/themes/[REDACTED]/flags/flags.css
• ../wp-content/themes/[REDACTED]/flags/flags.min.css

These two files are returning 404 not found errors.

The following file is also returning 404 not found:

• [REDACTED / 3rd party site]/images/youtube_video.png

It does not appear to be blocking loading, but certainly does not help.

Hope this helps!

@ paul

Looking at the page, it seems the page stops rendering before it is complete. Best guess at this point is maybe PHP is exhausting the memory allocated to it.

Try increasing the amount to at least 128MB. Here’s a blog post which explains how. Different memthods work on different hosts, try starting at the top of the list and working your way down.

Another place to look, look in your PHP error log to see if there are any errors being logged which may helps diagnose the issue. If you do not know where this log is, you can ask your webhost. Every webhost is different so I can’t really point you to where it would be.

Hope this helps, let know what you find out.

ps. I do not believe the is due to the WP 4.7.3 auto update. Both my production and test sites still function correctly. I also scanned the changeset between the versions and did not see any obvious changes which would cause this.

@ Graham

Sorry, not have this issue reported before now. Nothing happens when deactivating Connections so there should be no reason for a too many redirects. Question. Does this happen when all other plugins are deactivated and you try to deactivate Connections.
