Hi,

I just update the EasyBlog from 3.9.1 to 5.0.5. I set the Altium theme to use in front-end. I am facing the following issues:
1. I cannot hide the section "About the author"
2. I cannot make visible the "Comments" section.

I search the theme template source files and I found the following part of code:

<?php if( $system->config->get('main_showauthorinfo') ) { ?>
<!-- Blog Author's section -->
<?php echo $this->fetch( 'author.info.php' ); ?>
<?php } ?>

<?php if( $system->config->get('main_comment') ) { ?>
<!-- Comment form and comment listings -->
<?php echo $commentHTML;?>
<?php } ?>

From where can I set these values in order to hide the author info and show the comments because I cannot find anything I Settings Menu.

Regards

Thomas

For the comments I found the solutions. In the Settings -> Comments I had to enable the "Built in Comments" in the Integrations tab.
After that I was getting a message that the guest was not allowed to post a comment even I had enable the "Allow Guest to post a comment" in General tab of Comments menu under settings. This problem had to do with the ACL. I navigate in the ACL and I change the ACL properties for the Public group which is the parent group of the Guests. There the "Allow to post a comment" is disabled. If you change it to true, then the guest can post a comment. That's all for the comments.

As for the author, I search within the files for the 'main_showauthorinfo' and I found it in admin/components/easy_blog/defaults/configuration.ini where there the value is 1 (true). But the system is not using that file. The configuration settings are stored in the database in the table easyblog_config. There you will find all the data from this file with the changes the user makes from the administration UI. Show I change there the value to "0" (zero) but unfortunately nothing happens. Still the author details are visible.

So any suggestions on this please?

Hello Thomas,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply.

For both settings you can find it from your backend > easyblog > categories > select your category > post options > comments and author, http://screen.stackideas.com/2015-06-18_1032.png . Hope these help.
