    hi I hope you don’t mind if I ask a bunch of questions instead of one by one I have just batch uploaded and need to fine tune a few thins, please advise:

      I am batch uploading 690 entries. How are these able to edit their own accounts afterwards? I assume they need to register then their accounts will ‘attach’ with their entry or is it some other method? TIA
      Is it possible to output the age alongside date of birth?
      How can I make a custom field for ‘nickname’, or can I re-purpose ‘prefix’ for this purpose?
      How can i paginate the directory index it seems to be showing all entries.
      I am using elementor can I make a template page for directory index so I can edit the sidebar?

      Thanks so much!

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    ‘../wp-admin/admin.php?page=connections_settings&tab=advanced’

    You will need the Link addon, here’s the link to learn more:

    You will need to set up a workflow to allow your visitors to register on your site. You can use the built-in WordPress User registration feature or third-party plugins.

    RE: Is it possible to output the age alongside date of birth?

    Technically it is possible, but it is not “out of the box”. This would require a code change to the template you decide to use to display your directory.

    RE: How can I make a custom field for ‘nickname’, or can I re-purpose ‘prefix’ for this purpose?

    I do not recommend repurposing the ‘prefix” field for this. Adding a custom field is the better way to add this. Here’s a link to a developer doc that explains how:

    Admittedly this is more difficult than it needs to be. I am working on making this far easier.

    RE: I figured out the permalinks!

    My only advice for this, make sure not to choose a permalink slug that will conflict with any of the core WordPress permalink slugs and any custom post type slugs that the theme or other plugins may add.

    RE: How can i paginate the directory index it seems to be showing all entries.

    All of the premium templates support paginating the directory results.

    I hope this helps. Please let me know.
