Hello,
Just a few more issues with the plugin. I am only using the shortcode to display the business on a page like a vcard.
1. It is not displaying on the website, however I can see it when in preview mode.
2. Contact number not visible
3. Link field not showing at all
4. Opening hours showing but the formating looks off. Would be great if you could see it but please see point 1.
5. I would like to add a custom field but for the life of me I cannot seem to find how to do this.
Thanks in Advance for your help!

RE: I am struggling to find how to create custom fields.
Here are links to developer docs which explain how to add custom fields:
RE: I would like to add a field for opening hours of certain organizations.
I suggest instead using the Business Hours addon instead. Here is the link:
RE: It is not displaying on the website, however I can see it when in preview mode.
Can you please explain by what you mean by “preview mode”?
RE: Contact number not visible … Link field not showing at all … Opening hours showing but the formating looks off.
Did you possibly set the Visibility to Unlisted or perhaps turn their display off in the Template Customizer. Maybe you are using the Profile template instead of the Card template. The former will not display those details where the later will.
Please share a link to the directory page on your site. Thanks!
Hi Steven,

Current issues
1. Sorted
2. Email not visible.
3. Link field not showing at all.
4. Opening hours showing but the formating looks off.
5. With regards to custom fields, it seems that this involves coding which I am not confident with. I understand you could do this as a custom job so could you please point me in the right direction.
Thank You

RE: Email not visible.
When adding the email address, did you set it to be public?
RE: Link field not showing at all.
The links are actually there. The theme has set them to white. I suggest adding CSS to the theme to make them block. Like so:
.cn-list a {
color: #000000;
}
RE: Opening hours showing but the formating looks off.
Looks fine, picks up most table formatting from the them as it should. Since the theme content width is narrow, you could increase the width of the display, like so:
.cnbh-block {
max-width: 100%;
}

Hello,
Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, the email is still not showing and it is set to public just like the links and telephone number. Any ideas?
Also, I would like to change the category name “notes” to something else. I checked your forum to see if someone had a similar request. You advised them to use the below shortcode. I tried that but it did not work. Any ideas?
[connections id=1, connections str_note_head=”Change Me” ]

RE: Unfortunately, the email is still not showing and it is set to public just like the links and telephone number. Any ideas?
Did you by chance purchase, install and active the Contact addon for Connections?
RE: I would like to change the category name “notes” to something else.
Please navigate to the Connections Templates admin page and click the Customize button for the Card template.
After the Customizer loads, click the back arrow in the upper left if the Customizer and then click the Strings panel. Change the strings as desired and the Publish the changes. Exit the Customizer.
Hope this helps!
ps. the Directory Home page must be setup and configured properly and must have the [coonections] shortcode on the page otherwise the Customizer will not work.
Hi Steven,
Thank s for your quick response.
I fixed the issue with emails. I have inserted the HTML link which it did not accept. Normal emails work fine now.
Unfortunately, I do not have the options for strings. Only the below options:
Global Options
Display
Style
Image Advanced.
Thanks again
