Client has asked how to do the following (and I'm interested to know too):

• How do I update the Author information; add an author? change the name? add info to the about section?

• When I embed a video on the blog, is there a way to adjust the size of the display?

• I embedded an Instagram photo and it displays full width. How do I make it smaller and center?

• When I embed a link from Twitter, it defaults to the left of the page (4th Test Blog for NorCalPulse.com). Do you know if there is a way to Center it? I don't like it displaying on one side of the post.

There are 5 authors on this blog, but, even as a Super User, I can't add/edit/delete authors from the frontend.
Hi Ian,
How do I update the Author information; add an author? change the name? add info to the about section?
For the frontend, only the author themselves can update their information. If you want to add or update other authors, it has to be done in the backend.
When I embed a video on the blog, is there a way to adjust the size of the display?
I believe video embed blocks have the fluid layout option(https://i.imgur.com/nH6MiQG.png).
I embedded an Instagram photo and it displays full width. How do I make it smaller and center?
Unfortunately there is no setting in the block then can be used to achieve this.
When I embed a link from Twitter, it defaults to the left of the page (4th Test Blog for NorCalPulse.com). Do you know if there is a way to Center it?
There is no setting that can center it. However, this may be possible by using custom css to globally center all Instagram/Twitter blocks in EasyBlog.
There are 5 authors on this blog, but, even as a Super User, I can't add/edit/delete authors from the frontend.
There is no frontend author management in EasyBlog. You would have to manage them from the backend.

Thanks for the reply.

It would be nice to allow for certain groups to edit ANY author - say, Super Users and Administrators.

The way I got around centering was to drop in columns, make it 3 columns then use only the center one - that seems to work
