Yes, loading hundreds of entries on a single page will indeed load more slowing. This is not a bug or limitation in Connections. If you were to attempt to load hundreds of WordPress posts on a single page it probably would not load at all which is way there limit posts to 5 per page by default. What you need with your large directory is a premium template, all of which support paginating the directory, 20 per page. All premium templates support pagination but some have this disabled by default since their focus on small eam directories. It you like one of those, it is very simple to enable pagination.

Hope that answers your question!

See attached. It will import a single entry with the name of: “Entry First Name Imported”, “0 Entry Last Name Imported”.

You need to follow the advice given in my previous reply. Giving you a test file will not fix your file.

re: Normally I’d target the Member Directory page’s page ID, but it seems that the Member Directory and the Individual Member pages all have the same page ID!!

Yes, that is correct because you never leave the actual WP page when browsing the directory.

@ How can I make styling changes to the directory page without it affecting the member pages?

Well you have many options…

• The profile detail view have a .cn-entry-single class you could use to override the result list view style.
• It looks like you have been editing the template directly, so, you could use inline CSS styles.
  • If you are editing the template make sure you are following one of the following recommended ways or you will lose you changes on updates.
    • Tweaking Core Templates
    • Custom Template Override Files
• You could also use custom CSS override files. You would create two files; card-custom.css and card-custom-single.css. The one without single in the name would load on the page results list view while the one with the single in its name would load on the single entry profile detail view.

Hope that helps!

re: I want, or rather I do, use Global Buddypress Search as a plugin.

It is not possible to integrate with the core WordPress search because it is highly optimized for only searching WP pages/posts. The Global Buddypress Search plugin effectively replaces the core WP search in order to search its custom data structures. Depending on how the plugin is developed it might actually be possible to incorporate additional custom searches but I’d have to delve deep into their code to know. Even if does it would require a lot of custom coding in order to do so.

re: since Connections Pro is not using Custom Taxonomy, the plugin finds no content for Connections Pro, which actually is pretty uncool.

Connections does not use Custom Post Types (CPT) for its data because the db schema is CPT’s are optimized for post like data. Connections uses a db schema more optimized for directory content. I think you’ll find that much larger plugins such as WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads are even moving away from using CPT’s because using them are too inefficient for the custom data schema’s they require.

I apologize, I know this is not the answer you want to hear.

Yes, this file can not be imported. Please read the CSV File requirements and the Tips section in the documents. Probably the two biggest issues are the require field headers are not present and the file is not UTF8 encoded.

Hope that helps!

This was definitely a bug in the theme. The button it adds the WordPress editor which is what Connections uses for its bio and notes fields is not compatible … will not run on the site’s frontend because they do not load the corresponding javascript. This causes the fatal error.

I edited the theme so the button only loads in the admin where their javascript is loaded. The Form now works as it should.

Hope that helps!

ps. if the theme devs do not fix this bug in their theme and they releaser an update without a fix and you update, you will lose this change and the Form will stop working again.

@ Oleg

This error seems to be related to the theme. Another theme by the same developer seems to have the same error:

https://themeforest.net/item/edulms-wp-learning-management-system-theme/9443786/comments?page=20&filter=all#comment_11224973

You’ll likely have to contact them in order to have fix the bug in their theme.

The other suggestion I can give incase the error from the theme is being caused by another plugin, try the suggestions in these FAQs:

• How do I check for a theme conflict?
• How do I check for a plugin conflict?

@ Alan

You would only receive this error message if WordPress was unable to insert/update a record in the database. Since you mention “old version” I suspect the database structure is not correct.

Navigate to the Connections : Tools admin page and then click the System Info tab.
Scroll to the bottom and generate a remote viewing link and share that link with me. It can be posted here as a private reply.

@ Oleg

This generally only ever happens when another plugin or the theme causes a fatal javascript error on the page (most common) or the javascript for the Form is not being loaded on the site (rare).

YOu can see if there is an error on the page by visiting the page in Chrome. Once on the page hit the F12 key and then click the Console tab. All the page errors will be listed here.

Generally you can figure out the source of the error, unlikely it’s Connections.

If you give me access, I can take a look. details can be posted here as a private reply.

@ Oleg

re; similar question, which plugin prevents from showing the state and country in the entry?

There is no such plugin. By default Tile Plus does not display the addresses because of the limited space available in the tile. You can enable the display of the addresses by using the show_addresses shortcode option for Tile Plus. Add it to your existing shortcode like this:

[connections show_addresses=true]

Hope that helps.
