Can’t see the new site since it .htaccess password protected, but looking at the old site…
The state
is a WordPress page which is not part of Connections. May guess is the page structure looks something like this:
root
–all-md
—-florida
—-maryland
—- and so one and so on…
On each of those state pages, you have an instance of the [connections]
shortcode with it’s option set to filter by state.
Now, on the new site…
My guess is the WP page structure is:
root
–all-md
No, sub pages for each state with the instance of the [connections]
shortcode on the all-md
page.
That said…
If you want the state
back into the URL to match the old site, then you will have to structure the site just like the only.
Hope that helps!
Thank you again for the remarkably quick response. We will investigate, thank you.

We are still being stumped by this. Is there an email address where I can send you the .htaccess username and password directly, I don’t want it to show for the public.

Ok, I see the select allows a user to select a state. That select has an onchange event which will set the query var page_id to the page ID of the selected state. WordPress will and is doing a conical redirect to the /{state}/
page.
So… the question are:
Are all the state pages subpages of the all-md
page?
What is the exact shortcode you are using on the state pages? Are you using either the home_id
or force_home
shortcode options?
This is the shortcode we have put on each page, with the category of each state denoted.
[connections category=’11’ order_by=’id|RANDOM’ enable_category_select=false image=’photo’ tray_image=’logo’ image_height=” image_width=’225′ tray_image_height=” tray_image_width=’225′ ]

And are the only changes to the template are CSS only via the theme’s styles.css file? Put another way, nothing in the template or cMap was altered was it?

I missed the first part of the previous questions. Yes all of our pages
ARE subpages of the all-md page.

and card.php
files?
I reviewed all changes made to the since Oct last year (the changes between 8.1.4 and 8.1.7) that would affect the permalink… nothing obvious jumps out to me as an issue.
