re: However, I would like to first make a selection of a category and then the list of contact that have this category.

Well, you could, with any of the premium templates and then follow this tutorial on how to not display the directory until a category search is made.

Another option, you could use the [Enhanced Categories extension] and use the shortcode option if it adds to place the categories one one page and put the directory on another so when you click a category link you be taken to the page with the directory filtered by the selected category.

re: Is it possible to use an address as a widget?

Well, technically possible but there is not one available. Question. Do you mean to put a directory entry with their address in the sidebar OR when you visit the directory entry’s profile page have the entry’s address shown in the sidebar using a widget?

re: Can contacts be somehow integrated into the search?

Sorry, no, it is not possible is integrate with the core WP search. It is specifically code to search the site’s pages and posts and there is no way to hook into it to do custom searches which are required to search the directory.

Hope that helps!

re: When I first installed the Enhanced Categories extension I was able to briefly see how the graphics loaded like the demo. I added one image, set it right according to the documentation, and it worked. Since then, I have not been able to get it to work again.

Could you provide access? That would allow me to more quickly figure out the issue and resolve it. My best guess from your description is that there is a PHP error being generated or the PHP is running out of memory.

re: By the way, thanks for helping with my other 2 topic posts. They were closed before I had a chance to say thanks for the help!

No problem! And thanks!

re: The directory displays perfectly, but when I click on the “View Profile” link on the second set of directory listings, I get a page with the individual’s name and “No Results” where the bio should be.

Can you please share a link to the directory page with the issue? Thanks!

re: how do I edit the template for the individual detail page? I want to change where the picture is located on the page.

You would edit the card-single.php file found in this folder:
../wp-content/plugins/connections-gridder/

If you edit this file, make sure to place the edited file as described in the custom template override file tutorial.

I see you purchased the Extension Pro Pack. Thanks for your support!

The Widget Pack which comes as part of the Extension Pro Pack includes a search widget. You can placed this widget in the theme’s sidebar to add search to your directory.

Hope that helps!

@ David

Sorry, no, not at this time.

This does not seem to be a issue with Connections. It seems the memory allocated to PHP is set at 48MB (or round abouts). I believe this is the default value that WP setups up for the site’s frontend.

I highly suggest setting this to at least 64MB. Setting it 128MB will give your site plenty of “breathing room”.

Here’s a link to an excellent blog post that covers how to change this settings. There are several methods outlined. The method that will work for your depends on the webhost. I suggest starting at the top and working your way down the list.

Hope that helps. Let me know!

Very sorry to hear the update has caused your trouble! To fix follow these steps:

• Login to your site with FTP.
• Navigate to the ../wp-content/plugins/ folder.
• Delete the connections folder.
• Navigate to the WordPress Plugins admin page.
• Click the Add New button.
• Search for the Connections Business Directory plugin.
• Click the Install Now button.
• Click the Activate button/link.

You data is safe and will not be lost.

Again, apologies for the trouble!

ps. If you have altered any of the core plugin files, you should make a backup of those files before doing this process so you can restore them.

pss. This error was caused because the webhost is running a very old and unsupported version of PHP. A version I did not test against because it is no longer supported. When reinstalling, you will be installing a version with a tweak to make that line of code compatible with that old version of PHP so you will not see that error again. I very, very, highly recommend that you contact your webhost and ask them to upgrade your PHP. WordPress recommends at least version 5.6. because anything less may expose your site to security vulnerabilities.

@ Pat

Great to hear! Thanks!

@ Pat

Add those entries as individual instead of organization. Examples based on your examples:

• John Day Company == first name => John , last name => Day Company
• R.H. Wiles Co. == first name => R.H. , last name => Wiles Co.

When sorted by the default order they’ll fall in line where you want them to.

Hope that helps! Let me know.
