    Ok, so things seems in order. Nothing is jumping out to me as incorrect. Sorry, but I have to ask… have edited an entry and saved it with a language?

    I’ll create a test entry now and see if it appears.

    I created a test entry and edited it ok. I see the language field on the card view, but not in the profile page view.

    These three entries have the language field populated (in service directory).
    Card view ok, but again, not on full profile page.

    The meta key name is not correct in the card-single.php file. You have language when it should be Language (at least according to how you’ve registered the field).

    just an fyi, there is this free addon available:

    Thanks Steve, fixed the meta tag and that did the trick. :)

    If I add the language plugin, I would delete the language field snippet and custom field I created correct?

    Would I have to adjust my custom cMap templates, or would they work as is with today’s changes?

    Thanks in advance,
    Casoer

    RE: If I add the language plugin, I would delete the language field snippet and custom field I created correct?

    You could, yes, if it does meet your requirements.

    RE: Would I have to adjust my custom cMap templates, or would they work as is with today’s changes?

    It would not work as is with your changes. It actually has its own display method in the template which requires no coding change to the template. You would enable it display in the Content Block settings options on the Connections : Settings admin page. The placement location would be different and not where you specifically want it (if that matters to you and if it does, it is possible to use code to output in the template where you do).

    Hope this answers your questions!
