Which version of Connections do you have installed? Version 8.1.5?

Are you using a translation other than US English?

Oh, I see the issue now!

Something is adding a style that hides vCards. You can see this in the page source:

.vcard{
display:none;
}

Add the following to the theme’s custom CSS area to override it:

#cn-list .vcard {
  display: block;
}

That will fix it up!

I did reply to your question here. I’ll copy it to this thread for your convenience…

re: My 3 most recent entries are not displaying. They are set to public, they are approved, I entered them myself.
Are you using any type of caching plugin? What is the exact shortcode you are using to display your directory?

re: The program is suddenly forcing me to display a last name for each entry which I would prefer not to do.
In Connections > 8.1 the last name is now required … actually it has always been required, just not enforced, but now it is necessary because Connections uses the names to create the folders which the entries images are saved in. All the premium templates sold here has a name_format shortcode option which can be used to remove the last name from display. Are you using any of these templates?

My initial guess is that PHP is running out of the memory allocated to it. Take a look at this excellent blog post on how to increase the memory allocation.

I suggest a value of 128M. The post gives several different methods, which method that will work will depend on your webhost. I suggest starting at the top of the list and work your way down.

I hope this helps, let me know.

Here’s the CSS. Just add it to the theme’s custom CSS area:

.widget.widget_cnw_categories ul.cn-cat-tree {
  max-height: 300px;
  overflow-y: scroll;
}

Hope that helps!

No need to edit the files, take a look at this QuickTip. It exmplains how to do this in an update safe way.

Hope that helps!

You can download your purchase from your purchase history. If you need, you can reset your password using the lost password link.

Hope that helps, let me know if you need anything else.

I’m actually planning on using a tweaked version of Gridder to display a directory of sites using Connections … any way to answer your question.

If you do not enter anything in a field, it will not be displayed. I would say the minimum required is a name, bio and photo.

Yes, Gridder should work just fine in a responsive theme … the theme running on this site right now is a responsive theme so you could see its compatibility by visiting the demo in different devices.

Hope that answers your questions thoroughly!

I think this may have been related to the other issue you emailed me about. I did correct this. Again, apologies for the trouble!
