Yes, there is a shortcode used to display the directory. See Step 4 in the quick start tutorial for more details.

Hope this helps, let me know.

Ok, the issue was due to that the WP Permalink settings was “Plain”. I changed it to “Post name” which is a preferred choice.

I actually did not realize that permalinks needed to be enabled for this to work, I’ll have to add a little note in the tutorial.

Apologies for the trouble and thanks for the kind review!

Hmmm, yes, this is a good question. Even though the pages appear to change (according to the browser address bar) you actually never leave the one page. This is why the text appears in both locations. Probably the best way to handle this would be to add the instructions text using action but this is a little more complex.

Install the Code Snippets plugin.

Add a new snippet with the following code:

add_action( 'cn_list_return_to_target', 'cn_directory_instructions' );

function cn_directory_instructions() {
    ?>
        <p>Below is the current directory of healthcare professionals who have been trained in the use of the Comprehensive Resource Model. Here&#8217;s how to use this directory:</p>
        <ul>
        <li>Use the search box below to search for a particular city, state, country or name.</li>
        <li>Use the &#8220;View All&#8221; link below to switch to a list of names in the directory</li>
        <li>Use the &#8220;Submit New Entry&#8221; link below if you are have successfully completed the CRM Basic Module training and would like add your practice to the directory.  Entries will be reviewed prior to being added.</li>
        </ul>
        <div class="su-divider su-divider-style-double" style="margin:15px 0;border-width:3px;border-color:#899bbb"></div>
    <?php
}

Save and Activate the snippet to run in the frontend only.

You should then be able to remove the instructions from the page itself.

Hope that helps, let me know.

What you are referring to is from this tutorial on how to only show results after a search. It is an advanced tutorial, but it is pretty thorough if you want to give it a try.

Hope that helps!

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

I logged in and followed the steps for the Template Customizer for cMap to display the photo and it worked as expected. Perhaps you did not click the Save and Publish button? Everything seems in order. Hope that helps!

re: Since I don’t have a child theme in place, I might lose this snippet with a theme update, correct?

Yes, this is a possibility. Many theme’s have an option for custom CSS, unfortunately I did not see one for this theme.

re: So, you’ve done a tweak to the larger theme style, but it’s only been adjusted for the Connections template. The rest of the global style will work on the theme as planned?

The tweak will only affect Connections, nothing else.

re: Unfortunately, a new bug seems to have appeared. All that I have done is to add a few header images for my theme via Appearance->customize in my theme. Since your fix seemed to be theme-related, I wonder if this is the cause? I had no issues with this before.

Sorry, to hear about additional troubles, but the tweak, it is impossible to have caused this issue. This is literally the tweak:

#cn-list-head form div {
    overflow: visible;
}

This can have no effect on the theme’s use of the WP Customizer. That said, it seems your site did not like the JP Custom CSS plugin which is amazing! It is such a lightweight plugin which does only really one thing. I moved the CSS to the theme’s CSS file and removed the plugin. You can now access the dashboard page (the only admin page that would not load for some reason).

Apologies for the troubles, you should be good to go.

ps. Since I moved the CSS tweak to the theme’s CSS file, you may have to force refresh the browser so it does not use the locally cached (old version) in order to see the category drop down once again.

re: I spoke too soon. The preview was showing the photos but the are not showing live.

If you are using page caching either with a plugin or server side, make sure to clear the page cache.

re: I can save us some time by letting you examine this. I will create a temporary ID for you. I will need to specify a user name, e-mail, and password for you.

Sure I can take a look. Create and admin account with any username, email and password that you want. They do not matter since you’ll be deleting this account. Post the login details here as a private reply.

re: is that in the default solution?

No, this is a custom solution. I can sell this solution for a reasonable fee which includes installation and configuration. If you are interested, please contact me using the contact link at the very bottom of the page.

re: Is it possible to talk you in to add the solution I describe ?

I do offer custom solutions for Connections. If you are interested and would like a quote, please contact me using the contact link at the very bottom of the page.

@ Omar

You can use the name_format shortcode option. Here is an example:

[connections name_format='%last%, %first%']

Add the name_format='%last%, %first%' to you existing shortcode, do not add teh shortcode to the page a second time.

Hope this helps, let me know.
