==Issues==
If the external website that "[https://gramps-project.org/bugs/tag_view_page.php?tag_id=281 Web Connect Pack]" queries against changes its query method, please raise an issue on the bug tracker. ===Updating a webpack===If the query no longer works because the website updated the way searches happen these addons will need updating also. So a Python line in the <code>WEBSITES</code> section of WebPack.py that reads like:<pre>["Person", "WikiTree", "WikiTree", "https://wikitree.sdms.si/function/WTWebProfileSearch/Profiles.htm?&Query=%(given)s+%(surname)s+B%(birth)s+D%(death)s&MaxProfiles=500&SortOrder=Default&PageSize=10"],</pre>creates a {{man menu|WikiTree }} submenu line to the contextual pop-up menu's {{man menu|Web Connection}} group in the People category view. Selecting that a {{man menu|WikiTree }} submenu line for a Person Gramps records as being named ''Richard Milhous Nixon''; born ''12 January 1913'' in ''Yorba Linda, California''; died ''23 April 1994'' in ''Manhatten, New York''; would send the following query line to your default browser: https://wikitree.sdms.si/function/WTWebProfileSearch/Profiles.htm?&Query=Richard+Nixon+B1913+D1994&MaxProfiles=500&SortOrder=Default&PageSize=10
