Sorry, but it is impossible for comments to be added by Connections. Check the page settings, the page template or the edits to the template, maybe code was accidently added that is calling the comment form.

That should good … So you know I did edit the shortcode to add page_limit=40 but with pagination disabled the remaining entries are not shown. If you remove the disable pagination option the page control will show again, but the page limit will be 40.

fyi, that changes made to the template can all be done with shortcode options, ir changing the bio text label and the gradient. You’ll still have the drop shadow, but you can add custom CSS to override it..

The core WP shortcode to create galleries works just fine. Example: [gallery ids="4553,4502,923,244"]

A very quick way to generate the shortcode…

Add a new page, you do not need to save it.
Switch the post editor to the Text tab –> Important.
Click the Add Media button
Click the Create Gallery link.
Select the images you want in the gallery.
Click the Create a new gallery button.
Arrange the images in the order you want them to be displayed.
Click the Insert gallery button.

The shortcode will be inserted into the post editor. This can be pasted in the bio or notes field. Of course, you’ll need a template which supports showing the bio or notes field. A free on that comes with Connections is the Bio Entry card.

Connections does support custom fields, but there is no point and click way to add them. They need to be added via a plugin. Here are some examples of plugins that add custom fields (all are free):

• http://connections-pro.com/add-on/hours/
• http://connections-pro.com/add-on/income-level/

Hope that helps.

@ cheryl

Connections does not supporting or add or interact with commenting, so, it can not be coming from Connections. Usually this is controlled by the theme or a setting on the page on the page’s admin edit page to disable comments.

Hope that helps!

@ Steve

Seems you’ll need one of the premium templates which support category filtering … and pagination. I really recommend a template like cMap.

I think you may have to contact your host … it seems, on the server level, the query vars registered by Connections for use in WordPress are being stripped or reset. hey is likely a setting or ruleset that needs to be changed. I see that it is not only affecting Connections. The Query Monitor plugin I installed for debugging seems to be affected too.

At some point I want to develop and release a gallery extension for Connections but it will likely be a bit of time before I get to it. What can be done now … two things:

First, the bio and notes field support the HTML img tag. so you can add as many images as you want using those.

Second, the bio and notes fields also support shortcodes. You can use a gallery plugin which displays galleries via shortcodes.

Hope that helps!

@ Rick

Right, there is that limitation, for now. It is on my todo list to allow users to set private/unlisted without requiring that view permission.

@ Mark

Question … did you or someone else alter cMap … because it appears may have been. Can you confirm? If it has been changed, then I think it was those changes that inadvertently broke the pagination function.

[Steven Zahm]

@ Iem

The font family is picked on from the theme, Connections does not set an exception is that a couple premium templates do set a font-family to ensure the design does not break, but that’s it.

If you want to change the font, you need to create CSS styles to do it.

Hope that helps.
