Ok, you need to edit both the card.php and the card-single.php files found in this folder:

../wp-content/plugins/connections-circled/

Add the snippet of code where you want the categories to be displayed. If you are familiar with editing PHP, my code is pretty descriptive so you should know where to add the line to have it show before the bio.

Hope that helps!

Great to hear!

If you have a moment, I would truly appreciate a review as they really do make a difference. Many thanks in advance!

Well, now that is really odd because Connections has absolutely zero code in regards to the page set as the site’s home page. The only time I suppose there could possible be an effect is if you have the Directory Home Page to to the same page of the site’s home page. Even then, the only effect should be when following any of the directory related permalinks and would not affect the base permalink at all. If it did, I would expect that would generally break the site.

I guess the path forward would be to login and repeat the same test they did but with one difference. See if it happens with just Yoast and Connections active. Perhaps there could be some weird issue when it is only a combination of plugins being used.

re: Can you code it for me?

Possible. Which method would you prefer? Simply moving the show notice so it displays above the history when clicked. The show history would open beneath the show notice. Basically just the reverse of what you see now. Or, would you prefer it work like an accordion why one panel closes when the other is clicked?

My first suggestion… navigate to the Connections : Roles admin page check the box to Reset All Role Capabilities and then click the Update button.

Then check to see if the issue is resolved. If it is not, then I’ll need an admin login so I can take a closer look. The login details can be posted here as a private reply.

re: As per your explanation the listings with addresses would default to geo-lookup regardless of 000.000 -000.0000… and therefore display a map, but that actually makes the blank maps scenario more strange.

The blanks maps you are seeing have nothing to do with the lat/lng values. Open the page in Chrome, hit the F12 key and click the Console tab. You see several errors related to the maps. The most important is:

• Google Maps API warning: NoApiKeys https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#no-api-keys

This error basically means the Google Maps API key have not been setup correctly. I know you said you’ve “entered a Google geolocation API key“, but it seems Google does not think so so it is preventing the Maps from working on your site.

You need to follow this tutorial on how to get your Google Maps API keys. After you do, look at the error messages. Google will tell you the errors and provide a link to their documentation on what the error means.

Apologies for the maps difficulties but unfortunately there is nothing I can do about that since Google has changed their policies on their API usage … basically they’re looking to more fully monetize their services.

Hope that helps, let me know.

User registration is handled by WordPress, not Connections.

Here’s a link to a tutorial which outlines one way of implementing user registration moderation.:

http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-moderate-new-user-registrations-in-wordpress/

Now, as far as user directory submissions, yes, they can be moderated.

Hope this thoroughly answers your question.

The translations for the core Connections plugin is managed on Transifex. If there are errors or omissions make the changes there. Pulling the connections.pot file would mean that you would have to translate to German from scratch. So, the steps you did very likely contains zero German translated strings. If you want a PO file to save as a MO file, you need to pull the PO file from Transifex.

Now, each extension or template is a separate plugin in WordPress which means each has to be translated separately. The extensions and templates, you would pull the POT or if one exists the PO file for a translation and then make your changes and save the MO file using Poedit.

So… the strings you show in your screenshots, those should be coming from the Link extension. You’ll need to option the connections-link.pot file and create a new German translation. If you do, pleas send it to me and I’ll include it so it will be distributed as part of the Link updates.

Hope that helps!

Use the WangGaurd plugin, it’s excellent at preventing sploggers.

It’ll already use the CSS from both the theme and the template. It can be styled any way you wish. If you share a link with me to the page with the template on it and more specifically what “beautifully” means to you in this case I can take a look and possibly give you some custom CSS you could add to the theme’s custom CSS area.
