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! * Plugin Author [Steven](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shazahm1hotmailcom/) * (@shazahm1hotmailcom) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-fields-349/#post-12660911) * **RE: I am struggling to find how to create custom fields.** * Here are links to developer docs which explain how to add custom fields: - [https://connections-pro.com/quicktip-custom-field-adding-a-text-field/](https://connections-pro.com/quicktip-custom-field-adding-a-text-field/) - [https://connections-pro.com/quicktip-custom-field-checkbox/](https://connections-pro.com/quicktip-custom-field-checkbox/) - [https://connections-pro.com/quicktip-custom-field-checkbox-group/](https://connections-pro.com/quicktip-custom-field-checkbox-group/) * **RE: I would like to add a field for opening hours of certain organizations.** * I suggest instead using the Business Hours addon instead.

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.

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 * Plugin Author [Steven](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shazahm1hotmailcom/) * (@shazahm1hotmailcom) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-fields-349/#post-12663612) * **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%; } ``` * **RE: With regards to custom fields, it seems that this involves coding which I am not confident with.

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.

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. * Thread Starter [findingmalta](https://wordpress.org/support/users/findingmalta/) * (@findingmalta) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-fields-349/#post-12667802) * Hi Steven, * Thank s for your quick response. * I fixed the issue with emails.
