RE: I am seeing a message “NOTICE: Connections database requires updating. START” (which is a link). When I click “START” after a few seconds, I get a message that the page does not exist (on a page that looks like the Connections search page). Any idea what is causing this?

Ok, are you being redirected to the frontend of the site, meaning you longer in the WordPress admin. If you are that would be the theme’s search results page.

Try temporarily deactivating every plugin, including Connections. Then activate Connections, switch the to Twenty Seventeen theme and then do the upgrade. Does that help?

@ Janet

Sorry, no, this is not yet a feature in Connections.

RE: Each ‘accordion’ is a category of yours. I want the description to show up when the user opens the accordion (or maybe before, I will play) so all I need here is the description I entered when I added the category into your database.

Ahhh… ok. Off the top of my head.

$term = Connections_Directory()->retrieve->category( x );
if ( $term instanceof cnTerm_Object ) {
    if ( 0 < strlen( $term->description ) {
        echo $term->description;
    }
}

x equals the category ID.

@ Craig

I’m sorry I do not understand. Why would you wish to display the categories descriptions with the associated entries. Could you give more details?

RE: Is it possible to pinpoint the connections on a map?

Yes, all the premium templates support displaying the entry on a map.

RE: I still don’t really understand what the contact plugin is for.

It hides the email address and display a contact form instead to allow site visitors to contact directory entries without revealing their email addresses.

RE: Ideally (and what I hoped for) was looking for a way to click the user name that then is a link to the email address.

Sorry, I do not understand … when the email addresses are displayed, they are links. Here’s a screenshot from your site which shows this.

This is being cause by a style in the theme:

@media only screen and (max-width: 767px)
.responsive #top .logo {
    position: static;
    display: table;
    height: 80px !important;
    float: none;
    padding: 0;
    border: none;
    width: 80%;
}

Notice the width and height.

Try adding this to the theme’s custom CSS area, generally found in the theme Customizer:

@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {
        #cn-list span.cn-image-style img.cn-image.logo {
        width: auto !important;
        height: auto !important;
    }
}

Hope this helps!

Please navigate to the WordPress Plugins admin page and deactivate the Contact plugin. Deactivating the license does not stop it from working, that only disables support and in admin updates.

Hope this helps!

ps. Navigate to the WordPress Permalink Settings admin page and change the structure to Postname to remove the index.php from the structure. This makes it compatible with Connections and makes your links more SEO friendly.

RE: I really don’t know where to put this.

Put the code on line 326 right before })( jQuery ); in the cn-multi-category-select.js file.

RE: where do I put my validation

Sorry, don’t know.

RE: But I think everything is ingmored if you press Enter instead of Submit.
Why is that?

The javascript should prevent even the entry key as the form can not be submitted unless the if statements becomes true.

If you find that is not the case, then perhaps adding prevent default will help???

$('#cn-cat-select').submit(function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    if ( $.trim($("#cnmcs-address-input").val()) === "" ) {
        alert('You did not fill out the postcode field.');
        return false;
    }
});
