@ Paul

The version numbers do not seem to align. The newest version of Slim Plus is 2.0.1… Any way, the latest vesions can always be downloaded from your purchase history. But, I see your support license has expired, you’ll need to renew either the support license for the Pro Pack or the support licenses for the individual items you wish to renew in order to download the latest versions.

Hope that helps!

Unfortunately you’ll have to ask the theme dev/support for some reason the fancy transitions they apply is attaching itself to the drop down, so clicking the drop down os triggering a page load. My best guess is has something to do the the FastClick library the theme is using… but that is just a guess. I would expect the theme dev to know more.

Hope that helps!

ps. The page would not display at all in Chrome. The uBlock Origin extension was the cause because it blocked the FastClick library from loading. I expect other ad blockers will have the same effect because many of them use the EasyList as a base for what to block. I’m guessing you do not want you site to be blank for everyone that visits using an ad blocker.

Honestly… I would highly recommend disabling the loading transition. Here’s why. The way this works is the page content is simply hidden from view until the page completely loads. After loading is complete, a script will do that fancy transition. If there is a javascript error, your visitors will likely end up seeing nothing more than a blank page even though the page contents does exist. That happens, you’ve lost a visitor. Just my opinion though.

@ NuMedia

re: I’m having a difficult time parsing the code for the proper hook from the theme functions file.

I gave you the proper hook name, cn_search_terms and link to its location in the file. Here it is again:

https://github.com/Connections-Business-Directory/Connections/blob/8.5.13/includes/class.retrieve.php#L2326

I suggest adding the this using the Code Snippets plugin. Never, never, plop code in the theme’s functions.php file regardless what all those old tutorials on the web say to do.

re: Could you provide an example?

Completely untested…

add_filter( 'cn_search_terms', 'NuMedia_Search_Filter' );

function NuMedia_Search_Filter( $terms ) {

    if ( in_array( 'city', $terms ) ) {
        $terms[] = 'cities';
    }

    return $terms;
}

@ James

re: Can the text be centered?

Use this CSS:

#cn-gridder .cn-gridder-overlay {
    text-align: center;
}

re: How do I move the text down little bit to showcase the logos?

Not possible, will it is, be not easily. Upload you logos with more white space on the bottom.

@ dominic

Yes, this is possible but it requires changing the PHP code for the template. If this is something you are comfortable doing you need to edit the circled.php file found here: ../wp-content/plugins/connections-circled/. Go to line 558 and change parent_id to child_of. Save the file overwriting the original.

@ dominic

Ok, sorry! I forgot! you need to add enable_category_by_root_parent=true to the shortcode too.

@ Greg

re: When I try to click on ‘categories’ I get an error message, however, if I click and hold ‘categories’ I am then able to select a category.

What is the exact error message? Where exactly are you trying to select categories? What action are you doing? I need a bit more context.

re: I can’t find the query.php file to check to see if that’s the problem so if you can point me to where I should be looking to find that, that would be great.

This file???

../wp-includes/query.php

That’s a core WordPress file in the wp-includes folder. At this point without more details I would say it is not related. But I really need to know more before I can make any suggestions. My but guess is that whatever the issue is, is not a bug with Connections.

@ gail

re: give me a clue as to were it would be be

Ummm… the post I linked to shows exactly the file; ../wp-includes/query.php. The exact lines are 26-29.

re: in the theme editor or i would look into the plugin editor connections form php

No, this is a core WordPress file. You need to login to your site with FTP to look for and edit this file.

re: Also the right side bar I have set on all pages except fron page is not appearing on the directory page…could they be related?

I’m not exactly sure what you are saying … but I suppose it could be related.

@ Bert

I am very aware of WooCommerce but I have never used it or that addon. There could be a couple reasons. The roles are dynamically added and do not really exist (bbPress does this) in a way that can be altered. Or maybe the role capabilities are reset on each page load.

I have a suggestion to try.

Install the Members plugins, which is a fantastic user, role, and capability management plugin.

Use this plugin and try to add the Connections capabilities to the Vendor role. If the settings do not “stick” then the issue is with the other plugin. If they do “stick” then there is likely a plugin conflict or theme conflict which is preventing Connections from saving its settings.

Let me know what you find out.
