That can be turned off by going to the Connections : Settings admin page and clicking the SEO tab. Disable the Page Title option. I highly suggest leaving the page meta options enabled though.

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

The best and fastest way is to use a tool such as phpMyAdmin and export Connections db tables from the source db and import them into the destination db. If you already activated Connections on the source site, you’ll likely have to drop those tables first. Since you’re using multisite, you’ll also likely have to rename the tables so they have the correct WP db prefix for the subsite Connections is installed on.

You’ll also have to move the following folder from the source to the destination:
../wp-content/uploads/connections-images/. Since you’re using multisite, you’ll have to adjust that path accordingly … so it is under the correct subsite uploads folder.

Hope that helps

You can use the Code Snippets plugin and a filter so you do not lose the changes when updating. This should do it:

add_filter( ‘cn_address_options’, ‘cn_address_options’ );

function cn_address_options( $options ) {

unset( $options[‘work’] );
unset( $options[‘school’] );
unset( $options[‘other’] );

return $options;
}

Following the same structure will work for the social media option too.

Hope that helps!

Yes, I’ll post back here when I release the update.

Right, this only disables the visible links, the underlying code still will function if you access the link directly. Since the links are in the Google index they’ll show up in the results and will work.

As Google re-crawls the site and updates its index, the links will be removed from its index.

To complete remove the ability from Connections you would have to remove the rewrite rules for the single pages from the class.rewrite.php in this file:

../wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/

Hope that helps!

Oh… you’re using Contact. By design that removes the display of the email addresses. The assumption is that if Contact is installed that the email is not to be shown for security of the user’s email address … not making it public. If you want it public, there really is no need for Contact because the email address is “clickable”. When clicked it will open the users client email app and allow them to write the email from their app.

Both cMap and Market are pretty much the same template. The only functional difference is that once has a searchable category drop down (cMap) and the other has the categories listed to the side (Market). Any other difference are mostly cosmetic. Personally, I feel cMap is better design wise.

The custom field. That could be added, but they currently require a dev to add. Really it sound as if you really want a custom extension for Connections that can have the dues status tracked and send reminder emails. Using just a custom field and Contact is not going to achieve that.

Hope that addresses everything thoroughly!

First, the double…

This is cause by having the shortcode on the page twice. You can do this but it requires a bit of a different setup.

You need to create a “results” page. Maybe name it “Person” … the name does not really matter. in the page content, add the [connections] shortcode only once with no options.

Save the page and take note of the page ID number (this is important!). You can find it in the browser’s address bar.

Go to the Connections : General admin page and change the Directory Home page to the new “results” page.

Now on your “Staff” page add force_home='true' to your shortcodes so they look something like:
[connections force_home='true']

No when you click the profile links, they route to the new “results” page where the shortcode exist only once.

Now the different layout … since the directory home page is on a different page. You can choose the alternate page template (if that is a feature in the theme) for that page.

Hope that answers your questions thoroughly!

With cMap the email addresses are shown by default so something else maybe hiding them. Maybe CSS from the theme/another plugin or maybe by javascript from another plugin. Without a link to the page having the issue, thats my best guess. If you can share a link, I’ll take a look.

One question, the email addresses, you did mark them as “Public”, yes?

@ Rick

I’m still working on the update … a performance enhancement I’m working on which significantly reduce the number of queries when working with/displaying categories is taking a bit more time than I thought it would. I’m thinking I’ll have to skip that for this release cycle and merge in the other fixes … basically I’m saying soon. Sorry for the delay.

@ Christine

Ok, I think I see the issue after looking more closely at the email code. There’s a bug in Form. An admin submission notice will only be sent when a user adds their entry, not when they update it.

I’ll try to get this fixed as soon as possible and release a bug fix. Apologies for the trouble.
