    I have now now installed Tile Plus 3 and the latest version of Connections and I am having a couple of problems.

    PROBLEM 1 – old design showing on web page

    Although in the ‘template’ section the current template shows as Tile Plus 3, you can see from my webpage that it is still showing the old design: http://blackbloggersnetwork.co.uk/directory/directory/ as on my other domain where I have Tile Plus 3 installed it is showing the new design: http://blackbritishacademics.co.uk/directory/pg/1/.

    PROBLEM 2 – wrong size images being displayed

    The images on the tiles should be 200×150 and this setting did not change after upgrading to Tile Plus 3. But nonetheless the images on the tiles are a different size and I am not sure how to change them. I have tried deleting the image in the ‘manage entry’ screen and then uploading it again but this does not work – the wrong size is still showing on the webpage.

    How can I fix this?

    Thanks

    Both sites are indeed running the latest. However your one site has a JavaScript error unrelated to Connections or the Tile Plus. Load the site in Chrome, hit the F12 key and click the console tab. You’ll have to resolve those error. Best guess it is the theme. You’ll have to contact the theme dev to ask them resolve the issue.

    Because users had a difficult time understanding that Tile PLus required a specific image size and did not understand how to correctly change the image settings, Tile Plus 3.0 now forces the size. To force Tile Plus to use the settings, add the following to your shortcode:

    image_width='' image_height=''

    I am trying this shortcode:

    [connections  page_limit="15" image_width=''200" image_height=''150" ]

    The pagination part is working but not the image size. It is a bit confusing to know how to combine shortcodes – have I made an error here?

    Thanks

    The size goes between the single quotes, not after and you shouldn’t add a double quote after the number. For example:

    Instead of this:

    [connections page_limit="15" image_width=''200" image_height=''150"]

    You should be doing this:

    [connections page_limit="15" image_width='200' image_height='150']

    Great – I am almost there! I have made the tile size a little larger and reduced the image size slightly but it still looks a bit messy. How can I move the blog title from the bottom of the tile to the top?

    Thanks
