First log into the source site, and navigate to the Connections :: Settings admin page and click the Search tab. Disable the FULLTEXT option.

You would have to log in to the source site’s web host control panel (usually cPanel) and log into the phpMyAdmin tool.

Using phpMyAdmin, you would selected all the Connections related tables from within the WordPress database. They are easy to locate because the all start with {wpdb_prefix}_connections. The {wpdb_prefix} is the WordPress database prefix of the database.

After all are selected, click the Export option. Choose the SQL option with the default settings. Save the SQL on your local desktop.

Now, log into the destination site. Here you can backup all the Connections tables by renaming them or use backup plugin for WordPress to backup the site first. The latter should be preferred. Alternatively, you could simply just delete the existing Connections tables.

After you have backed up or deleted the existing tables on the destination site import the SQL file you exported. When the import is completed, you’ll likely have to rename the tables newly imported tables with the correct database prefix.

Lastly, navigate to the Connections :: Settings admin page and click the Search tab. toggle the FULLTEXT option, disable then enable. Do this so the FULLTEXT search indexes are recreated.

It sounds like a lot but it generally takes about 15 minutes. If you wish, you can supply me with the relevant logins and I can do quickly for you. The details could be posted here as a private reply.

Well, one solution you could use the Connections shortcode on these posts which should display the related entries using the id shortcode option to limit the list to those specific entries. PLaying with the configuration and using a different template of posts you could achieve what you want.

Another option would be to simply add links on the posts to the profile detail pages of the entries.

Hope this helps, let me know.

Hmmm, the best way to move a WP site is to use a plugin like BackupBuddy or Duplicator as they take all the work out of migrating a site, well, at least minimizes it greatly.

If possible, I really recommend using one of those plugins and migrate your site that way. Then you will not have to worry about the images because they will be migrated too.

If not possible, the only other way to do this would to migrate just the Connections tables from the source site to the destination site and then use FTP to copy the images from the source to the destination.

Hope this helps, let me know.

Not a well defined API I’m afraid. This will be changing as I put in more work to properly support the WP REST API.

You can find the existing functions for managing entries in the class.entry-actions.php file found in this folder:
../wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/entry/

Hope this helps!

re: how do I change the font &/or font size

You’ll have to use CSS for this. Create your custom CSS and add it to the theme’s custom CSS area. What exactly the CSS is really depends on the changes you wish to make. If you can let me know, I can provide more details instructions.

Hope this helps!

You need to follow the step in the “License Activated on Another Site” section of this FAQ.

After you you follow those step, navigate back to the Licenses admin page on your live site and click the Activate button.

Hope that helps, let me know.

The first issue I see is that it seems you inadvertently displayed the Google Maps API in the Advanced settings. You need to re-enable this option.

After you have enabled this, the maps should work as long as you have properly setup the Google Maps API keys. Be sure to follow the Get the Google Maps API Keys tutorial if you have not done so.

Hope that helps, let me know.

ps. Google has recently change the step in creating API keys. Instead of create a browser and server API key, just create two keys. Edit one key to have a referrer restriction. Use the referrer as outlined in the tutorial. The key with no restrictions, set of the server key. The key with the referrer key, set as the browser key.

This indicates that there is a fatal javascript error occurring on the page which is breaking the bulk importing.

• Log back into your site and navigate to the CSV Import admin page.
• Hit the F12 key and the click the Console tab.
• Do an import.
• On the processing step of the import where it says please wait, look thru the messages displayed in the Console for errors. Any of the listed errors could break javascript on the page but the most common type is an “undefined” error. If you have one (or more) of theses errors, mouseover the filename to the right of the error. The full file path will be displayed in a tooltip. This file path will hint at the plugin (or theme) causing the error. The easy solution would to temporarily deactivate the plugin at the source of the error and then do the import and activate the offending plugin when finished.

Hope this helps, let me know.

Just logged in and did a test (submitted not logged in) and the emails were sent. Can you let me know exactly the steps you are taking to test?

re; Figured out how to do 2 & 3. Still can’t figure out #1 above

Looks like they have altered the template code a bit to swap the image from the left to the right side. To accomplish the same you will have to alter the the code of the template.

You’ll want to alter the card.php file found in this folder:
../wp-content/plugins/connections-cmap/

When you have the file open, you see the code for the images and the code for the contact details. Copy/paste the code from the left side div to the right side div and do the same for the code on the other side.

Read this tutorial on custom template override files on where to save this altered file so it is used instead of the original template file.

As for the image, the other site is using the SiteShot extension.

Hope this helps!
