Hi SI

Blogger Profile Confusion

If I go here:

http://finalbug.net/

I have a “BUG Bloggers Biography” module active at the top right.
Clicking on “View Posts” brings me here:
http://finalbug.net/blog/blogger/62-paurray
And I see a list of posts.

Clicking on “Paul David Murray” brings me to the same place!

i.e.

http://finalbug.net/blog/blogger/62-paurray

Surely clicking on the second link

i.e.

“Paul David Murray” should bring me here:

http://finalbug.net/network/profile/62-paurray

I know that I had some issues with this before but can not remember what they were exactly.

thanks in advance

Paul
Hey Paul,

This is actually the biography module which is used to primarily link to EasyBlog's author page rather than your EasySocial profile page. Some site owner still wants to retain the author's page as it would be easier for them to view blog posts from a particular author rather than linking to their profile page in EasySocial.

If you don't want this, I would suggest you to disable this module as the primary purpose of this module is to link to the author's blog page.

Hi Mark

OK got it.
Please check out the screen shot.
So I switch off the "biography module"

Underneath the post it still point to the EB "biography module" where for eg the website is wrong.
Is it possible to switch this out with a box showing a preview of the ES Profile page?

If not where do I edit the EB profile?

thanks

Paul

The website field here is taken from EasyBlog. Just go to the toolbar and click on the "Gear" icon. Then, click on "Edit Profile".

Hi Guys

Thanks for the tip where to set this.
I still find this a little confusing.
If for e.g. I go here:
http://finalbug.net/blog/blogger/62-paurray
Clicking the same image and same name will take me to different places.

Am I being weird again or would it not make sense if both images/names just went to an ES profile.
If this were the case then technical the above link would not even exist!!!

thanks

Paul

ps I am kind of thinking maybe it is as simple as:

More posts from author

going here:

http://finalbug.net/network/profile/62-paurray/99-blog

?

This is done on purpose as there needs to be an ability for users to display all blog posts from a specific author in EasyBlog rather than linking it to their profile page.

Hey Mark

Thanks for your response.
And for some one who has both EB & ES is there a way to get this to go to ES only?

best

I have just updated the theme file for your site and it should link to the profile page of EasySocial instead.

Hi Mark, hi SI Team

Could you please tell me where the file is that you updated.
I would like to make a back up of it.

thanks
