I discovered a bug (or maybe oversight) in Easyblog's Virtual Author Alias setting.
Normally, Author names are linked, sending you to a page that lists all the blog posts by that author (/blog/blogger/[Author Name]). However, Virtual Author names instead link to nothing, instead having javascript:void(0);. On top of that, the link to the Author is still generated and in the page source but the link 404's, with the page itself being ungenerated. This means that a broken internal link is showing on the site to crawlers(how I actually discovered the problem), which affects our SEO score.
I'm on version 5.2.9, most recent.
Is there any way of correcting this?
