    Hi,
    I am running my site locally, so hopefully I can explain this well enough. :)

    I am having an issue with my Single Entry pages not displaying correctly. Before today they were, but after I ran my first csv import they stopped working correctly.

    Originally they would call in the same DIVs that my main page had on them. Now they do not. For example, I have a div with class named “lfg-wrapper” that shows up on the main category page as well as the individual category pages. Within this wrapper I have a background image and a couple other columns. But once I click on the organization name that wrapper (and all other divs within that wrapper) disappears.

    The only thing I can remember doing different since it was working was installing the csv import plugin and running the importer.

    Let me know if I need to clarify anything.

    Thanks for your help.

    @ Chad

    Recent version of Connections changed the way the single entry is displayed. Many users add “static” text and put the [connections] shortcode on the page multiple times so I ended up spending a lot of time explaining why the text was duplicated and why the entry appeared on the page multiple times when viewing a single entry. My fix was to replace all the page contents when viewing a single entry with just the entry. This is why your wrapper code is not there when viewing a single entry.

    The only way to change this would be to remove the filter that does this. This should work:

    Install the Code Snippets plugin.

    Add a new snippet with the following code:

    add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'cn_remove_single_entry_shortcode_filter' );

function cn_remove_single_entry_shortcode_filter() {
    remove_filter( 'the_content', array( 'cnShortcode', 'single' ), 7 );
}

    Save and activate the new snippet.

    Hope that helps!

    Hey Steven,
    It appears that this problem is back. I think maybe it started again with the latest update. Do I need to modify my code snippet or is there something else that has happened. You can view the site now. Here is the category page:
    http://sustainmc.chadhassler.net/lfg/cat/meat/

    and here is the single entry page:
    http://sustainmc.chadhassler.net/lfg/name/moody-meats/

    As you can see the background and styling is no longer transferring over to the single entry pages.

    How do I fix this and how can I avoid this issue in the future?

    I guess my links didn’t go through right. Here they are again:

    Category Page
    and
    Single Entry Page

    Hope that works better.

    Yeah, sorry, the code I gave will need tweaked just a really tiny bit.

    add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'cn_remove_single_entry_shortcode_filter' );

function cn_remove_single_entry_shortcode_filter() {
    remove_filter( 'the_content', array( 'cnShortcode', 'single' ), 6 );
}

    I had to increase the priority from 7 to 6 for the filter for compatibility reasons. Unfortunately WP requires the priority when removing filters so me changing the priority “broke” the code I gave because the priorities no longer matched.

    Apologies for the trouble, hope this helps!

    ps. I don’t often change filters or priorities… only when I need to for compatibility or conflicts with other plugins/themes so you should not encounter this too often… or maybe never again, I hope.
