No problem, glad to hear it it working fine now.

I logged in and and the test user was set as admin, so I switched it to be a subscriber. I then added a directory entry for the user on their directory admin profile page. I got there from the add your directory link on the Members page which is added by Link.

I then visited then the My Profile page and the Edit My Entry link does show, right above the orange button. It also displays on the Members page above the directory where it should.

So, that seems to function just fine in my testing on your site. To test further I could install User Switching and test actual users, but if it works with the test user, it should work for the others too.

Now, Form. I activated it and verified its configuration, which seems fine but for some reason WordPress was not loading its script on the page. I made a very slight tweak and now it works fine. I was able to make edits to the test user in the frontend. I left Form activated.

Hope that helps!

ps. When WordFence is activated on the site, every page load for when users are logged in or not generates this error message. The site seems to work fine but it should not have this error. I just wanted to bring this to your attention since I noticed it.

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <

Well, it is possible but requires coding in PHP because there is no easy point and click way of making these changes and doing this with PHP really would not be trivial. I can look into making this easier but I can not promise any eta at this time.

Presently the only notifications sent are by the Form extension when an entry hit the mod queue. I do plan on implementing a notification system into the core free plugin but I have not gotten to it yet and I do not really have an eta for it other than very likely this year.

<style id="custom-css-css">.p-landmark-sub,.p-meta,input,button,select,textarea{display:none}.x-portfolio-filters-menu{display:none !important}.x-portfolio-filters{display:none}</style>

Looks like some CSS is being loaded which hides selects, the relevant part, meta,input,button,select,textarea{display:none}

Just purely on the style id, this is custom CSS that perhaps was added inadvertently. That style will literally hide all text inputs, drop downs, radios selects, buttons and text areas by default. This will very, likely break all sorts of things so I suggest removing it if you can.

re: I am trying to remove the “other” label before the address, postal code etc. Don’t want a label at all – I want to apply this to all of the entries. HOw fodo i do this?

There are town ways to do do this. ONe by using the Template Customizer the other with shortcode options.

To do this with the Template Customizer, go to the Connections : Templates admin page and click the Customize button for the cMap template. The page will reload with the preview on the right and the Customizer on the left.

Click the back arrow at the top left of the Customizer and then click the Advanced panel, it will open. You see a Format option for each of the fields types, address, phone, email and such.

Copy the default option, for example for addresses:
%label% %line1% %line2% %line3% %city% %state% %zipcode% %country%

Notice that it begins with `%label%’

Paste the default into the option input and then remove the %label% part.

Do this for each of the field types.

Now, the configuration for the card view and the profile/detail view are done separately. To configure the detail/profile view click the name of the first entry on the preview. The preview will now load the profile/detail view.

Again, set the field type format for each field type.

When complete, click the Save and Publish button and exit the Customizer.

The shortcode method can be found in the docs.

re: I also want to change the colour of the headers in the entries to my theme colour – right now its just showing as #000 – How and where can I do this?

The colors can also be changed using the Template Customizer. Instead of clicking on the Advanced panel, click the Style Panel.

Hope that helps!

re: When I delete the ‘style=”width:0px;”‘, the drop-down menu displays adequately. Why is this div being manually edited and where can I can this?

This is not manually being set to 0. The Chosen library is a third party jQuery plugin to enhance the functionality of select drop downs. That width is calculated dynamically by the Chosen library based on the width of the real select drop down. Generally, if a 0 width is calculated it is because the real select (in this case the directory) is initially displayed inside a tab or toggle of some sort. Since the select is hidden initially the select will have a 0 width so the Chosen select will inherit that width.

How can this be fixed? Impossible to say without a link to the page with the issue. I can only give the the basic why of the issue might be present. If you share a link I’ll take a look and will hopefully provide you with a solution.

re: I also posted separately that I am trying to change the template to remove the “Category: xxxxx” from the display and some other cosmetic changes using CSS, but I cannot find the class and the CSS file or callout to update. I created the folder, per your post, to include custom CSS, but I am unable to hide the display. Can you point me in the right direction?

Hmmm. I don’t see you other post… any way…

I’m guessing you are using the Default Entry Card template, yes? If so, go to the Connections : Templates admin page and click the Customize button for that template. The page will reload with a preview on the right and the Customizer on the left. The initial panel loaded is the Display panel in the Customizer. On this panel there is an option to disable the display of the categories, uncheck it. Now, since the card view and the profile view are configured separately, click the name of the first entry in the preview. The preview will reload the template in the profile view. Disable the categories again and click the Save and Publish button.

Take a moment to look at all the display options in the Customizer. Tip, there is a back arrow at the top of the Customizer, clicking will reveal more panels of options to configure the template which includes some styling options.

re: And one last question: With “Excerpt” we were able to limit how many listings showed on the page, but with the default template we have to load the entire directory, all 450 members. Is there a way to limit the number of listings on the default template?

Sorry, but there is no way to limit the list with pagination using the default template. If you like the default template, then may I suggest the cMap template. It has a very similar layout and using the Customizer it is possible to remove the grey background and drop shadow.

Hope that helps!

Great to hear it worked!

re: Is it possible to hide the target same window and no follow, and the assign link options. Would like to simplify the submission form.

This can be hidden with CSS. Add the following to the theme’s custom CSS area:

#cn-form span.target,
#cn-form span.follow,
#cn-form div.link-assignment {
    display: none;
}

That should do it.

re: Is it possible to have Target New Window as the default option?

Sorry, this is not possible unless you wish to edit the PHP code for Connections. Here are the instructions if you wish to do this.

Hope that helps!
