RE: There is an extra space appearing between names and suffixes. For example, the directory will show “Jane Doe , MSN” but when I open Jane’s entry, there are no extra spaces at the end of the last name or before the suffix.
There should not be extra space. It sounds like perhaps CSS from the theme or another plugin is causing the extra space to appear. If you can share a link to your directory page, I can take a look.
RE: Some alumni have uploaded photos, but for those who haven’t, a grey box with “No Photo Available” is part of their entry. Is there a way to remove this placeholder?
Add image_fallback='none' to your existing [connections] shortcode. Here’s an example:
[connections image_fallback='none']
RE: Alumni are entering some information that we don’t want publicly displayed on the website. Is there a way to prevent certain fields, such as address (and the accompanying map), from being displayed across every entry?
The address can be disabled, too, with a shortcode option. Add show_addresses=false to the existing shortcode. Here’s an example:
[connections image_fallback='none' show_addresses=false]
I hope this helps; please let me know.
Thank you Steven! Both of those shortcode options worked perfectly.
Regarding the extra spaces, here is a link to the directory:
