    I recently started using Connections with the Excerpt Plus template to display an Officers Down Memorial Page. One question how can I change the Font associated with the name. I dont remeber the font being a script font when I purchased template but for some reason it is. I think my template is wrapping it with a <span> tag.

    Any thoughts, Thanks in advance.

    The font is being pickup from the theme, which is by design. This allows tighter theme integration. If you do not want the script, you’ll have to override the theme’s CSS. If you provide a link to your directory I can give you a CSS snippet that you can add to the en of the theme’s style.css to change the font-family used in Connections.

    After hours and hours of debugging I finally found the template file to correct the font. Thanks a million for the help.

    I have an additional question not sure if you want be to start another post…but it seems that the javascript/jquery that controls the excerpt portion of the template works off and on. Why is this and how do I fix?

    Without a link to you directory, impossible to say. But if it is not working consistently, then there’s either a javascript conflict with the theme or another plugin. One way you can check is to load the page in Chrome, hit the F12 key and click the Console tab. This will show all errors on the page and may lead you to the cause.

    Another possibility is Excerpt and Excerpt Plus have two view modes, one when the name link feature is off and one when the name link feature is on. Here’s the description from the Template product page:

    Excerpt Plus is the first of our templates to be released with multiple views. What is this, you ask? I’ll try to explain…

    Connections has a feature that can be enabled that changes the entry name to a link, this link will take you to a page with just that entry. Excerpt Plus is smart enough to know if you have that feature enabled, which is on by default in Connections 0.7.6 and newer. If you have this feature enabled, the fade-in effect the reveals the rest of the entry’s bio is removed and replaced with a link to that entry. When you click thru to that entry, the entire bio is shown, there’s no need for your visitor to click again to reveal all the full bio.

    Is this what you’re experiencing? If it is, that is by design.\

    Hope that helps.

    Steven thanks again…I’m sorry for not including a link I thought I included one in the previous post. This is the link to the page in question…HERE. When I run it in chrome I get the following message. UNCAUGHT REFERENCE ERROR: jQuery is not defined.

    Please understand that this does not always stop the jQuery from running it actually works 70% of the time but if you visit the page and refresh a dozen times or so you will see that the jQuery will eventually fail. I already have the name link function set to off so I do not think that is the issue…of course I cant be sure.

    Anything assistance you can offer would be great. The software is amazing just need the jQuery to work 100% of the time.

    I’ve refreshed the page a couple dozen times and have not been able to replicate the issue.

    The only suggestion I have is to move this line of code:

    
<script type="text/javascript">jQuery(function($) {    $("li.post-item-255").children("a").attr('href', "javascript:void(0)");});</script>

    In the header.php file to after the wp_head(); template tag. That should remove the error.

    I did as you suggested and the error message still appears. What browser are you using? Cause I find it hard to duplicate when using Chrome but when I use IE the get the error to occur quite often. It tends to happen more often when I press the F5 or refresh icon at the top of the page and less when I click on the menu link.

    Thanks again.

    I’ve tried replicating in IE8, Chrome and Firefox, but can not. I do not have access to IE9 or IE10 at the moment.

    I see that you did put the line after the wp_head(); template tag, but you did remove it from before the opening <html> tag. Something like that will make IE very cranky.
