re: Yes, all is ok. Is it possible the bug is occurring for I don´t have the last version of your plugin?

What version of Connections do you have installed?

[Steven Zahm]

@ Javier

You do have both the Connections and the cMap plugin installed and activated, correct? Please confirm that they are. You can do this on the WordPress Plugins admin page.

@ Micki

Yes, sorry, I thought you were asking about a widget included in the Widget Pack.

re: Firstly I was so disappointed to see that I had to buy the search function which I would think is a primary requirement in any directory listings, free or premium.

It is these purchases that make Connections even possible. I spend 40-50 hours a week support and adding features to the free core Connections plugin. Checkout the changelog.

I did try donations at the beginning but the total amount donated across a couple years would not feed my family for a day. So I decided to sell extensions and templates which add more features. This has been successful in ensuring the continued development and support of Connections.

As for the search feature itself… many, many thousand of users use Connections without search because the core features still meet their needs. So, search may be a must for you but it is not a must for everyone. So those that need it have to invest a little. Most developers are surprised at how inexpensively I price items. One even recently commented that they are so cheap they might as well be free.

re: Secondly, now that I have finally figured out how to add the search function which I have added to a side bar because it is not pretty on the main page – it is not returning results based on the address of the businesses.

Could you describe exactly what you mean not returning results for addresses? Can you double check that the address search fields are to be searched. You can find these settings on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Search tab.

Ok, I read through this a couple times… is this pretty much resolved or or there something specific remaining that you would like help with?

@ Julia

Great to hear! Apologies for the trouble!

Keep a lookout for the updates for both Link and Connections. I’m going to try to release the update for Link today and Connections before the end of the week. Both these updates contains the tweaks I made to your site so you will be able to update safely to these. It’s important that you apply both updates, but I recommend waiting until both show up and update both at the same time.

@ Melanie

I’ve updated your purchases to include they missing key. You can find it on your purchase history page under the Licenses tab. Apologies for the trouble!

@ l. engberg

The only way to do this would be to edit the template’s PHP file and perhaps add some custom CSS to ensure it displays correctly. If this is something you can do, let me know and I can provide you with some guidance.

@ Javier

I recommend the cMap template as it has over a hundred point and click options which include the ability to disabled the search and set the images to none. You can find these options by clicking the Customize button under the cMap template on the Connections : Templates admin page.

Hope that helps!

@ Seth

You need one of the premium templates which enabled these features. I highly recommend the cMap template for your directory.

Hope that helps!
