Bug when splitting up listings by category

@ Lynette

re: The directory displays perfectly, but when I click on the “View Profile” link on the second set of directory listings, I get a page with the individual’s name and “No Results” where the bio should be.

Can you please share a link to the directory page with the issue? Thanks!

re: how do I edit the template for the individual detail page? I want to change where the picture is located on the page.

You would edit the card-single.php file found in this folder:
../wp-content/plugins/connections-gridder/

If you edit this file, make sure to place the edited file as described in the custom template override file tutorial.

Ok, now that I can see the page and know what the shortcodes are … this makes sense.

When you click the on the “View Profile” link even though the URL in the address bar changes you do not actually leave the page you are on. When viewing the profile page, only the first shortcode is used all others are ignored. Since only the first shortcode is used and the4 entry is not in the category limited shortcode you get the no results message since that entry is not in the defined category. Hope that make sense.

You can do what you want but it requires a two page setup.

• Create a child page under the “Faculty” page named “Person”.
• The page content of this new page should be the [connections] shortcode with no options.
• Take note of the Page ID assigned to the page by WordPress. You will find it in the browser’s address bar when editing the page.
• Edit the “Faculty” page and add the home_id=x to the existing shortcodes. x should be the Page ID of the “Person” page.

With the above steps completed, the links for the “View Profile” will now resolve to the “Person” page where there is only a single shortcode instance with no limitations so all entries will display as expected.

re: is there a way to adjust the font size on the overlay in gridder?

Sure, you can use CSS to change it to any size you wish. Add the following to the theme’s custom CSS area:

#cn-gridder .cn-gridder-overlay .fn, #cn-gridder .cn-gridder-name .fn {
    font-size: 12px !important;
}
#cn-gridder .cn-gridder-overlay .title, #cn-gridder .cn-gridder-name .title {
    font-size: 10px !important;
}

Tweak as desired.

Hope that helps. Let me know.

Sorry, the only solution I can think of is to turn off the back link so users will use the back button on their browser.
