re: Is this a Enfold theme conflict?

I do not think so as others use it with Enfold without issue.

re: the ‘Select Category’ dropdown at the top is not responsive and goes full width behind other elements.

This is due to a CSS style being applied by the theme. It is globally setting all select drop downs to be 100% width.

This should be able to fixed by applying a custom CSS declaration to override the theme. Add the following to the theme’s custom CSS area:

select.cn-category-select.cn-enhanced-select {
    width: auto;
    max-width: 250px;
}

re: It also has strange displays strange xx oo charecters when I hit the select drop down.

I’m not seeing this… can you post a screenshot with exact steps to reproduce?

@ Michele de Vries

This could be several reasons. Here’;s a link to a freshly minted FAQ. I suspect that your support license key has not been activated. Please try following the related steps in the FAQ.

Hope that helps, let me know!

re: never Knew you could change from there, very handy!

That’s brand new to cMap 5.2 … popular request :)

Glad I could help!

This can be done in the Template Customizer. Navigate to the Connections : Templates admin page and click the Customize button for the cMap template. The page will refresh with the Customizer on the left and a preview on the right. Click the back arrow at the top left of the Customizer and then click the Style Panel. From there you can tweak many style attributes of cMap including color for links. After you make your choices, click and entry name in the preview, any entry name, it does not matter which. The preview will refresh to display the single entry view. YOu can not customize the style available style options for the single entry view. Click the Save and Publish button on the top of the Customizer for your changes to take effect.

Hope that helps!

re: I am unable to edit/manage any of my connections entries.

It sounds like Elegant Themes is injecting their error message incorrectly. You might want to raise that to their support team because that is a bug in their theme.

re: I am unable to edit/manage any of my connections entries.

The cMap license will not not prevent you from adding or editing entries. Actually it does not have any limitations other than being able to access updates to itself.

If you can not add or edit entries, that is another issue. What errors are you seeing? Can you describe as exactly as possible the issue?

re: update cMap

Navigate to your purchase history page and click the licenses tab and copy your support license for cMap. Now, navigate to the Connections : Settings admin page and click the Licenses tab. Paste in your support license key for cMap and Activate it. After you do, you should be able to update without issue. If you still receive the same error immediately after activating your support license key, just give it a little time and try again.

Hope that helps, let me know.

re: I am still having a problem with this every time I update the software.

Back in this reply and more specifically in this reply, I did give instructions on how to fix this. It is strongly recommended that you do this otherwise you will continue to have this issue.

re: now not all entries can be located with the search function

Those specific entries are very likely the ones that need to have their images scaled down.

re: Can you give me the instructions for removing the picture from the Manage Function so I can re-apply it after each update?

Editing the code is not a solution, it is a bandaid. But, that said, here’s how:

Edit the manage.php file found in this folder:

../wp-content/plugins/connections/admin/pages/

On line 546 you’ll find this:

$entry->getImage( array( 'image' => 'photo', 'height' => 54, 'width' => 80, 'zc' => 2, 'fallback' => array( 'type' => 'block', 'string' => __( 'No Photo Available', 'connections' ) ) ) );

Delete this line or change it to this:

//$entry->getImage( array( 'image' => 'photo', 'height' => 54, 'width' => 80, 'zc' => 2, 'fallback' => array( 'type' => 'block', 'string' => __( 'No Photo Available', 'connections' ) ) ) );

Either will do.

Save and upload the file.

That’s it, hope that helps!

@ Molly

Is this in reference to the Slim Plus template your purchase a couple years ago? If it is, you can disable the pagination with the enable_pagination='false' shortcode option. If you are seeing 200 per page, then you are likely using the page_limit=200 shortcode option. If you are, remove it and disable the pagination.

Here is the doc page for Slim Plus which shows the available options with their default value.

• http://connections-pro.com/documentation/slim-plus/#Shortcode_Options

Now… that said, I very highly recommend against displaying more than 50 or 100 per page which is why the template pagination defaults to 20. The page load time will suffer; ie. slow. This is not a bug or limitation with Connections, the same page load time issue would occur if you attempted to load 200 or more pages or posts on a single page. It is very resource intensive.

I hope this answers your question thoroughly. Let me know.

@ Angela

My first suggestion is to make sure all the filters are set to show all.

Here’s the link to the doc page about the filters.

• http://connections-pro.com/documentation/manage/#Filtering_Entries

Evan if they do say all, select the all filter for each filter and then click the Filter button. Not knowing how you moved your site … it’s possible that the user meta for your account was not moved causing thing to get “out of sync” (for the lack of better terminology).

Hope that helps, let me know.

re: I can setup a copy of my website to test it on.
What do I use for the license codes?

No need to activate it if your are just going to run it on a copy of your live site. It’ll run just fine without activation.

re: How do I get the advanced beta copy to test out?

I’ll email you a copy right now. Let me know if you do not receive it.
