See this doc page on how to change field names and other text in Connections.

Templates do have template specific text string which are dealt with differently, please see this doc page on how to change template specific strings in cMap as one example.

The rest of the template use shortcode option to control template specific string. See the doc page on how to change template specific strings in Gridder as an example.

Hope this answers your question thoroughly!

@ Levi

Do you have Yoast SEO installed? I’ve noticed that some sites the filter that Yoast SEO runs causes shortcodes to run in the admin and the Connections shortcode is not designed to run in the admin and can error out. I suspect this might be the case. To test, try temporarily deactivating Yoast SEO to see if that resolves the issue for you. Reactivate after you test. HOpe this helps, let me know what you find out.

If you are using the Link extension, check out the two new shortcodes it adds.

Navigate to the WordPress Appearance Widgets admin page. You find the Connections Search widget. From there you can place the widget into the theme’s sidebar.

Hope that helps!

re: I did try and look through to find a template that uses the logo but did not see it.

Both the cMap and Market templates display both the logo and image. The logo is displayed by default on the card with the photo displayed in the bio area content tray.

re: nomenclature for the logo so I can request it from data and include it on the page

In all the templates, if you open the card.php and card-single.php files you’ll find code similar to this:

$entry->getImage(
    array(
        'image'    => $atts['image'],
        'width'    => $atts['image_width'],
        'height'   => $atts['image_height'],
        'zc'       => $atts['image_crop_mode'],
        'fallback' => array(
            'type'   => $atts['image_fallback'],
            'string' => $atts['str_image'],
        ),
    )
);

This is the image code. You can use similar code to add the other image:

Display the logo:

$entry->getImage( array( 'image' => 'logo' ) );

Display the photo:

$entry->getImage( array( 'image' => 'photo' ) );

Hope that helps!

Right, those links would disappear. You do have other options to place these links.

• Link adds two new shortcodes.
• Depending on you setup, you could put the links in your menu.
• Also, you could use the free Login extension. Link integrates with it adding options to those those links.

Hope that helps, let me know.

Good to hear!

You can likely use .htaccess rules to protect other files or you could use the UAM rule but add an rule to allow the access to the images in the connections upload folder.

I highly recommend the cMap template as it supports search and pagination (we’ll al the premium templates do) but it also supports the Template Customizer and has over 100 point and click config options with live preview so you can see the results before applying the change.

Alternatively to the premium template, there is a search widget which comes with the Widget Pack that you can place in the theme’s sidebar. But if you have enough entries where you need search, then you’ll need pagination which mean the template cMap template is you best option.

Hope that helps!
