Hello Steven,

1) The meta description is being ignored in the menu item and the generic one from Joomla Global Configuration is being used.
By default, Easyblog will get the author Biography and set it as meta. If you want to directly use the menu item meta, please replace the attached file in: ../administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/easyblog.php

2) I can't turn off the RSS feed even though I have it set to "No" in the menu.
For the RSS link, please replace the attached file in: ../components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/authors/item.php. We will include this fix in the next release.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Nick,

I am aware of this. The problem that I am having is that with all my authors except the two moderators I cannot get the bio to be the meta desc.

While writing this post I figured out what's happening and I think it's a bug, because this was not happening to blog moderators, only blog writers, and they have lower access levels. The bug is, in the ACL, any user group that has "Enable SEO" set to "No" then it ignores the meta desc and pulls in the one from Joomla Global Config. I have tested this by setting my "Editor" group to "Yes" on the "Enable SEO" option and the system began pulling in the bios again for the meta desc.

I would like to try this, but why is the download named default.php when you refer to replacing item.php?

Hello Steven,

I'm sorry, please download the attached file.

Thanks, the item.php fixed the RSS setting. There is still one lingering issue here:

The author pages still show Post Type Icon and Hit Counter, even though every single place I can find those options I have set them to "No". Am I missing something or is this a bug similar to the RSS setting?

Hey Steven,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. Sorry but not really sure which page are you referring to here. Could you kindly please provide me with the direct link to the page?

Hi Mark. You can check either of the two links in the original post.

[EDIT]Take that back, one of those authors has no posts. Check the link attached here.[/EDIT]

Hey Steven,

Hm, yeah it looks like there's a bug here as we might have missed this for the author view. Ideally, all menu views should have this settings and it should be inheriting from the global settings. We'll add this fix in the next release of EasyBlog.

Cool, thanks for confirming. Will wait for the update.

Hi Steven,

You are most welcome.
