    Hi there,

    Currently, when browsers click on the avatar profile picture of the author of the blog, it brings them to the buddypress page with the profile of the author, is there a way to simply change that link to another page on the website? I’d like it to redirect to the trainer profile section.

    Here is an example:

    Thanks!

    Hi a00109943!

    You can change that on line 114 in /enfold/includes/loop-index.php.

    $link = get_author_posts_url($post->post_author);

    Best regards,
    Elliott

    Hi Elliott,

    Thanks alot for your help! I found the line in the php file, but I am not familiar with how to include the url there? What should I be replacing in this line? I would like the author icons to redirect to:

    http://energyzone.ca/benjamin/

    Thanks again!

    Ben

    Hey!

    Try this.

    $link = "http://energyzone.ca/benjamin/";

    Cheers!

    That worked beautifully! I guess the limitation is that we can only have them redirect to one page all the time, if they click on a different author it will still link to that page as well?

    Either way, thank you so much!

    Hi!

    You can use this function to check for certain authors, http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_author.

    Hello Elliott,

    I also want to redirect the author page to a different links, but how can I do that if I have multiple authors? I don’t know how exactly to implement the is_author code for more authors. Can you give an example for two authors? Thanks in advance!

    Best regards,

    Conny Loonstra

    Hey!

    Probably something like this.

    if ( is_author('Benjamin') ) { $link = "http://energyzone.ca/benjamin/"; }
if ( is_author("David") ) { $link = "http://energyzone.ca/david/"; }

    Regards,

    Thanks Elliott, however I might have done something wrong, because it keeps redirecting to the wrong page. I tried the following for ‘gastblogger’:

    $gravatar = get_avatar($author_email, ’81’, “blank”, $gravatar_alt);

    if ( is_author(‘275’) ) { $link = “http://paardenlifestyle.com/tv/conny/”; }
    }

    I tried with the name first and after that with id, but both didn’t work. You can check it with this blog:

    http://paardenlifestyle.com/jenny-veenstra-presteren-met-een-minder-ideaal-paard-het-is-mogelijk/

    Can you tell what I’m doing wrong?

    Hey!

    That’s the single post view. You can find that one in the same file on line 177.

    the_author_posts_link();

    Cheers!

    Hey Elliott,

    thank you for your reply! So I have to change that line; could you give me an example? I just did it wrong and crashed the page. Whoops

    Thanks in advance!

    Hey!

    Try replacing it with this.

    if ( is_author('Daniel') ) { echo "<a href = 'http://www.yoursite.com'>Author name</a>"; }

    Cheers!

    Hey Elliott,

    thank you for your reply. Sorry for my late response, but I was on holiday for two weeks and I didn’t have access to my FTP on holiday, so I didn’t want to risk crashing my website ;)

    Anyway, I’ve changed line 177 instead of 114, at least, that’s what I think you meant. However, now the link disappears. I have the following code on line 177:

    if ( is_author('gastblogger') ) { echo "<a href='http://paardenlifestyle.com/tv/conny/'>Gastblogger</a>"; }

    You can see an example here: http://paardenlifestyle.com/jenny-veenstra-presteren-met-een-minder-ideaal-paard-het-is-mogelijk/

    This post is written by gastblogger or ID 275.

    I have no clue what I might be doing wrong. I hope you have an idea! Thanks in advance for your reply.

    Best regards,

    Conny

    Hi!

    I’m sorry but you have too many customizations going on here.

    1. I tried finding your loop-index.php file in the dashboard editor but it looks like you have two created? I looked through those and I saw the customization your doing but it’s not displaying on the front end for some reason. What is displaying is the text “door” which I have no idea where that is coming from.

    2. You have 113 users and I could not find the gastblogger you were referring to.

    3. It looks like you did a customization to enable the avia layout editor on posts which is going to make it so the meta does not display anyway.

    I’m sorry but I think it would be best to hire a freelancer to help you out here because there is just too much customization for me to know what’s going on.

    Cheers!

    Hey!

    The loop-index.php file is still not displaying any changes I make to it. I tried editing your child theme and also in the parent theme. Perhaps it’s some kind of caching issue with your plugins.

    Hey!

    It’s working fine on my XAMPP setup but I do not know why it’s not working on yours. Perhaps it’s due to a customization you have already done or one of the many plugins your using. It would be best to hire a freelancer to help you out with this customization.

    Regards,
    Elliott
