You would only ever receive that error is Connections was not uninstalled correctly by WordPress which happens on rare occasion during updates a WordPress fault, not Connections.

To fix, log into your site with FTP and navigate to the ../wp-content/plugins/ folder and then delete the connections folder.

Now you will be able to reinstall Connections normally.

If you already had data in Connections, it is safe in the database and will not be lost.

As for installing extensions and templates, that is done exactly like installing any other plugin which needs to be uploaded. Here’s the link the doc page which has the basic installation instructions for extension. Template are the eact same process, here’s the basic installation instruyctions.

Specific instructions for each extension and template can be found on the docs table of content page.

Hope that helps! Let me know.

@ J.R. Muller

Great to hear it’s working fine now.

@ Lara

Thanks for confirming. I’ll work on this tomorrow. If you’d like me to install an advanced copy (pre-release) so you can verify that it works as expected, leave a temp WP admin login as a private reply.

I’ll send the invoice after I have made the code changes.

You can likely use the city filter. Here’s the doc page that goes into more detail on how to use the filters.

Hope that helps!

Ok, I just test this using you mapping and it worked as it should.

Suggestion, remove all columns you are not importing. It’ll work if you leave them in, but it actually more resource intensive to have unused columns during import because it has to parse all that unused data.

Make sure not to import that Entry ID column unless you intent to update existing entries.

Lastly, I did notice the file encoding was “broken”. Excel is usually the source of this type of error. I very highly suggest opening your CSV files in LibreOffice Calc and saving out a copy making sure to select UTF8 file encoding. This will ensure the least trouble with imports.

Hope that helps!

Yes, the account could be transferred if Michael could take a moment to email from his Michael [at] crossover.marketing [dot] com requesting it. If that is not possible, I can provide a one time discount code so you can purchase it for the same renewal price.

Probably the forums but getting a response other than me is likely very low. I have looked into creating a PDF tool for Connections but really have not pursued it because of low demand and more importantly the tools available to me as a dev to create PDFs are not very likely to work well enough or not at all on shared hosts where server resources are very very slim. This would cause a lot of headache for me providing support for users trying to use it on shared hosts.

@ Elizabeth

Ahh… ok then, that is the issue. You need to install the Link extension and configure it. You have the permissions set, but do not have Link installed.

That said, there does seem to be a bug. The edit link should not have been displayed to users which do not have permission to edit an entry. It was still caught in the code hence the you do not have permission message. I corrected the bug on your site. When I push updates to Connections and Form, you will be able to update safely as I made sure to include the fixes already.

Apologies for the trouble!

@ Timothy

You somehow had a mixed install of Connections. Some files were pre 8.5.5 while others where the current version, 8.5.14. Reinstalling fixed the issue.

re: Could you give me an example how to filter with the new cn_page_title filter to achieve what I want?

add_filter( 'cn_page_title', 'cn_page_title_claude', 10, 5 );

function cn_page_title_claude( $title, $pieces, $separator, $original, $id ) {

    if ( isset( $pieces['term-category-name'] ) && ! empty( $pieces['term-category-name'] ) ) {

        $title = $pieces['term-category-name'];
    }

    return $title;
}

That should do it.
