@ Mark

I just sent a reply to the email. Let me know if you do not receive it.

I took a look at this page on your site.

http://smartsaratov.ru/colleges/

It appears you have already installed can configured cMap. The search is right the on the page across from the category drop down filter.

Everything seems in order, or, am I misunderstanding what you are asking?

@ Stephen

Yes, but only by using the shortcode meta_query shortcode option. I’ve not written the docs for this yet. Here’s one working example I gave to another user.

http://connections-pro.com/support/topic/filter-listings-by-certain-field/#post-379891

And more complex example:

meta_query='{"meta_query":{"relation":"AND","0":{"key":"color","value":("red","orange"),"compare":"IN"},"1":{"key":"featured","value":"1","compare":"="}}}'

Both of these are fairly complex examples… depending on hat you are looking to do, the meta_query can be much simpler.

Hope that helps, let me know.

@ Barbara

I suggest cMap to resolve this issue with too much page content.

Looks like the theme, my best guess, adds buttons to the WP Editor but did not make it compatible with use on the site’s frontend. They should actually limit their buttons to the admin in this case so it does not break other plugins which use the WP Editor. Best I can do is recommend is to determine if those buttons are indeed being added by the theme and then ask the support team of the theme to make sure their buttons are only added in the admin.

Hope this helps!

You need one of the premium template or the Widget Pack, which includes a Search widget that you can place in the theme’s sidebar.

I hope that answers your question!

re: Is there an easy way to only display entries on the category pages?

Well, there is but you would have to alter the code to work your changes. Here’s the link to the tutorial.

Hope that helps!

It appears you have created a custom template override file for Slim Plus which contains invalid HTML. Looks like it has a few extra closing div tags. The solution is to fix your custom template override file, or, delete it so the the core template file loads instead.

Hoe that helps!

re: Is there a way that a WP user at the level of Contributor could use the Export Tool?

You could use the Members plugin to add the necessar capabilites in or to perform exports. I think this is the complete list of capabilities you’ll need to add:

• edit_posts
• export

It looks like the Contributor role already has the edit_posts capability so just adding the export capability should do it.

re: If yes, is there a way to add the Export button from Connections Pro onto a forward-facing (but private) page on the site?

Sorry, no this is not possible. The code can not be run from the site’s frontend.

Hope this helps!

The issue is that there has been custom CSS added to the site which is hiding the results list. You are going to have to remove this custom CSS. The CSS code is found in the page head. Here it is:

<style>.connections-list {display:none;}</style>

This must be remove or the the directory will always be hidden from view.

Hope that helps! Let me know.
