Title: [Plugin: Connections] CSS changes are a pain! Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Connections] CSS changes are a pain! * Resolved [Mindshare Labs, Inc.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindshare/) * (@mindshare) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-connections-css-changes-are-a-pain/) * I just upgraded to the new version and now my CSS styles are all screwed up. It would be nice if you warned us this was going to happen. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/connections/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/connections/) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Thread Starter [Mindshare Labs, Inc.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindshare/) * (@mindshare) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-connections-css-changes-are-a-pain/#post-2467678) * Also what happened to the documentation? We had made extensive use of the functions like getProfileImage() and now you’ve removed the documentation from the plugin and have not put it onto your site yet… very frustrating. * Thread Starter [Mindshare Labs, Inc.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindshare/) * (@mindshare) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-connections-css-changes-are-a-pain/#post-2467684) * In case anyone else is having issues with the way profile images are displayed after the last update I was able to style things the way we needed them quickly by swapping this code in my custom templates: * `getProfileImage();?>` * for this: * `<?=$entry- >getName() ?>` * Plugin Author [Steven](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shazahm1hotmailcom/) * (@shazahm1hotmailcom) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-connections-css-changes-are-a-pain/#post-2467738) * Actually, CSS styling should be exceedingly simple compared to the previous version of Connections as all inline styles have been removed. There are far more classes and ids available for targeting the CSS selectors. Plus all the default styles can be found in the cn-user.css file. I plan on adding a CSS editor in the next major release. * I’ve targeted all the default CSS styles at div#cn-list. These can easily be overridden by targeting your CSS selectors at div#cn-templatename where _templatename_ would be the folder name of the template you’re using. If that doesn’t make sense, use Firebug, it’ll be the div id right after the div#cn-list id. * The documentation is still in the help.php file just commented out. So if you really need it, it’s there. But it is a bit outdated. * Plugin Author [Steven](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shazahm1hotmailcom/) * (@shazahm1hotmailcom) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-connections-css-changes-are-a-pain/#post-2467756) * As an added thought, if you want in-depth up to date documentation, you can always refer the to code documentation found in both class.entry.php and class.output. php files. * [xplicitone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xplicitone/) * (@xplicitone) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-connections-css-changes-are-a-pain/#post-2467815) * I’m having so issue with the .css but I will try this out and let you know if it works. * Not a big fan of the display: block * Plugin Author [Steven](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shazahm1hotmailcom/) * (@shazahm1hotmailcom) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-connections-css-changes-are-a-pain/#post-2467816) * What the issue of using display: block? I know of none. * [xplicitone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xplicitone/) * (@xplicitone) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-connections-css-changes-are-a-pain/#post-2467817) * Well the reason is its not going with my vision. I bought the cMap I’m just having a few conflicts of trying to shift everything to what I would like it. * I tried placing the social media icons for each directory entry in a single <* tr*>. Where all the social media’s will be in a single row. * I do have a good understanding of html and css. I just think its difficult because I’m unfamilar with Connections structure and what files/folders do for each. * I’ve even change the display to inline and its still stacking on top of each other vertically instead of horizontal. * Thanks in advance * Plugin Author [Steven](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shazahm1hotmailcom/) * (@shazahm1hotmailcom) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-connections-css-changes-are-a-pain/#post-2467818) * Interesting because the default layout of the social media icons is horizontal. * How about sharing a link? * [xplicitone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xplicitone/) * (@xplicitone) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-connections-css-changes-are-a-pain/#post-2467821) * Steven I started the thread here * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/connections-update?replies=1#post-2548722](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/connections-update?replies=1#post-2548722) * I just didn’t want to drag mindshare’s topic because it was resolved for him. * Thank you Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) The topic ‘[Plugin: Connections] CSS changes are a pain!’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/connections_2b7e99.svg) * [Connections Business Directory](https://wordpress.org/plugins/connections/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/connections/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/connections/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/connections/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/connections/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/connections/reviews/) * 9 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [xplicitone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xplicitone/) * Last activity: [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-connections-css-changes-are-a-pain/#post-2467821) * Status: resolved
