went back to the page for the directory and removed this line from the code which fixed the sidebar blowout problem:

<!-- wp:connections-directory/carousel {"blockId":"8d120165-b670-4925-9d24-3fed266026d7"} /-->

ah, I see what you mean. does work a bit better that way. I changed the page to a post in order to keep it from blowing out the sidebar but apparently the sidebar doesn’t appear on posts: https://sour-sully-xbn.zipwp.dev/direct-x/

but I didn’t. the shortcode I was using limits the display to two. Without a limit the page cn tak too long to load all the entries. this was the original: [cn_widget id=”cnw_search-2″]

Thank you, Steven. The php edits helped a bit. However changing to the gridder search function just messed things up. I left it so you could see.

I do appreciate your help.

Try this one: https://sour-sully-xbn.zipwp.dev/directory/

Steven,

Sorry, I wandered away for a bit. The problems I’m having are that the Directory blows out way too wide, forcing the sidebar offscreen. Then, the View Profile link seems unrelated to the item on the left. I want the full profile info to appear on that first screen (we won’t have photos). I did find the css and php files you mentioned and can edit those, if you’ll help me with it.

Thanks

I’ve tried using shortcodes but they often have no effect like the second part of this one [connections enable_pagination=’TRUE’ page_limit=5 excerpt_length=0]. I have some experience with CSS and php but no idea where to access the plugins code.

Not so much answer it but explain my issue. Lots of wasted space and the second link to expand the detail is off the the right side, seemingly unconnected to the listing you clicked on. So, no way to alter the gridder template?

I appreciate your help here, Steven.

Gridder is the template that paginates. If I switch to the Default Entry Card, Names or the Profile Entry Card templates (the only options I have under Connections templates), pagination is lost and the display reverts to all entries

Yes, that’s works and is a bit better although I can’t seem to edit the display which requires two clicks to view any info besides the name
