ParticipantHi. I was wondering if there would be a way to have my directory page with a sidebar but when going to the entry’s details, have a full page template load.
I would also like to know if there’s a way to have the image load to the top right of the details page (see screenshot).
Thank you for your time and guidance.

RE: I was wondering if there would be a way to have my directory page with a sidebar but when going to the entry’s details, have a full page template load.
Yes, this is possible but requires a slightly more complex configuration.
- Edit the page the directory is currently on. Look in the browser’s address bar and note the ID that WordPress has assigned the page.
- Create a new page. The name is not important but should be relevant. Let’s call the page “Business”. In the “Business” page content, add the Connections shortcode with the
home_id
shortcode option set to the page ID of the original directory page. - After you save the new page, take note of its page ID.
- Edit the original page again and add the
home_id
shortcode option setting it to the new page ID. - Ensure the new page does not display in your sites navigation.
- Now, when an entry is clicked on your directory page, the links will resolve to the new second page displaying only that entry with no other content.
Hope that helps!
RE: I would also like to know if there’s a way to have the image load to the top right of the details page
The image is designed to float down when there is not enough room. I know it appears that this is… but the left column’s content is wider than the space left to fit the image.
I suspect if you use a full page view in your theme on the second directory page using the method described in my previous answer you’ll get the desired layout.
Hope this helps, let me know.

ParticipantThank you for your quick answer. I will try what you have instructed and let you know how it went. As for the image not aligning to the desired position, I have already created a full page template and have tried it to see is if it resolves the issue and yes, in many cases it does but there are still some entries with long lines that stop the image from positioning itself arriba. Any CSS that could be applied?
This is the link to the directory in case you want to have a look:
https://chilesymaiz.com/productos-mexicanos-alimentarios-en-europa/I am in the process of shortening the lines as much as possible in an attempt to solve the issue once it’s full width. I am also thinking that it may be a good idea to widen the directory’s content area.
Once again, I thank you for your time and assistance.

ParticipantI have followed your instructions and it’s working fine. Up to now, I seem to be able to place the image where I want it to be positioned by shortening the lines that block it from going to the top. Maybe I can get away with it but I would like to be able to work it out with CSS, preferably.
Thank you. Great plugin!

Great to hear you successfully configured Connections using two pages!
Please try adding this to the theme’s custom CSS area:
#cn-card .cn-left { max-width: 45%; }
Hope this helps, let me know.
