I had not made any changes to that file…

doing that now, should receive an email, with access info, in just a moment

deleted my custom template and it’s accompanying files/folder with the idea of starting fresh and hopefully figuring out what this wasn’t working…

solution:
edit the template inside the new custom template folder /wp-content/connections_templates/New Table Entry Card/template.php/

not the template just outside it
/wp-content/connections_templates/New Table Entry Card.php

fixed

tried it both ways….

tried uploading the custom template to ../wp-content/connections_templates, activating… didn’t display

then I tried

uploading the custom template to ../wp-content/plugins/connections/templates, activating… didn’t display

tried editing the my template that appears in the editor (connections/templates/COTCcard-tableformat.php), still doesn’t display

so as a test, I set up the page in question so that the “Featured Listings” ask for a specific template (template=”COTCcard-tableformat”) and the rest of the listings used the default.

results are different but neither is my custom template

see https://centraloregontrailcourse.com/business-directory/tack-supplies/

for the results

I really do appreciate your help on this but rather than wasting more of our time on this I think I may just have to start over and edit one of the standard templates.

yes, mainly it’s the notes section. Could you confirm… if I edit the template in the wordpress editor under connections plugin, then any changes made should reflect in the directory page being displayed… doesn’t appear to work that way

here is the directory page in question: https://centraloregontrailcourse.com/business-directory/tack-supplies/

feeling really stupid right now… my custom template shows in the Template screen, I’ve activated it, the file looks correct in the editor, but the customization don’t appear in the directory…. ??? what am I missing

<div class="cn-entry" style="-moz-border-radius:4px; background-color:#FFFFFF; border:1px solid #E3E3E3; margin:8px 0px; padding:6px; position: relative;">

</div>

realized after posting that it was seemed to be an issue with permissions. wasn’t able change the file permission, so had to create a new file and do-over, which fixed that error

Was able to correct that, but now my custom template isn’t custom. It shows up in the Templates. But my customizations are missing. Checking files to see what I missed.

so, I put the templates in the folder wp-content/connections_templates as suggested, then did the upgrade. Now I’m getting the following error:

Warning: opendir(/file folders hidden to protect the innocent/wp-content/connections_templates) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: Permission denied in /file folders hidden to protect the innocent/wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/class.template.php on line 111

Warning: readdir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in /file folders hidden to protect the innocent/wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/class.template.php on line 113

Warning: closedir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in /file folders hidden to protect the innocent/wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/class.template.php on line 166

having the same issue on https://centraloregontrailcourse.com/community-event-page/

is there a solution for this? Don’t want to upgrade until I know it will keep my custom template.

I too would like to know how to change the width of the sidebars

philippko did you find a solution to changing the form action?

sorry <br />
