idea poster profile

Hi @mvda,

Yes, please see the FAQ item: I am a developer, do you provide any filters?

and the item “Modify Users Link”.

There’s no setting to do this, but with the filter it is possible.

Thanks

And where exactly can I find these items in FAQ? Can’t seem to find them. Do you have the links?

@mvda The FAQ is in the plugin settings. So if you go to the main plugin settings page, and go to the “IdeaPush Support” tab, you will see the FAQ’s. And there you will find the one “I am a developer, do you provide any filters?”

The reason I am pushing you towards the FAQ is not because I am a jerk, but just so you and others know where it is and it may answer other questions you may have ??

I suppose you refer to this filter which I would need to add to remove the link from the username?

Modify Users Link
Modifies the link when clicking on the users name, by default it goes to the author page showing all their ideas. The below example removes the link.
add_filter( “idea_push_change_author_link”, “idea_push_change_author_link_callback”, 10, 1 ); function idea_push_change_author_link_callback( $userId ) { return “#”; }

Only I am not a developer, how and where should I add it?

Hello – Did you receive my previous message?

In your themes functions.php file or a custom plugin. Thanks,

As mentioned before I am not a developer, can you help me out with it?

Hi @mvda,

Sorry, I don’t provide general WordPress development assistance. You may wish to use the general www.ads-software.com forums or https://stackoverflow.com/questions for coding assistance. I also provide a custom development service to pro customers if IdeaPush: https://northernbeacheswebsites.com.au/ideapush-pro/

Thank you,

You don’t provide custom development but you do provide custom development for pro users? You might consider helping someone out with something small so you’ll receive big?

Hi @mvda,

What you said is correct. I think you may need to rethink how you are viewing the situation. I am a freelance developer, I don’t have a team or anything, and I have spent 3 years (on and off) of my life developing this IdeaPush plugin. It was a risk I took with no guaranteed return. I then did the nice thing (which I didn’t have to) of releasing this plugin for free. So you have hundreds of hours of my effort given to you for free. And unlike a lot of pro plugins, the free version of the plugin has a lot of good features. I have also spent hours providing support to resolve plugin issues to people like you for free. I don’t get paid for the free plugin, I don’t get paid for talking to you now.

Then you have asked why I haven’t volunteered more of my time to provide you with support for a generic WordPress developer question. So this is why I ask people to support the plugin by purchasing it and then I am more incentivised to provide this level of support. It should be noted I did the courtesy of pointing you in the right direction of where you can get support if you don’t want to get the pro version. If I was to go beyond my standard support for every free user in the hope they might buy the pro version, 9 times out of 10 (or higher) they still wouldn’t buy the pro version.

I realise the above message is a bit crass and direct, but I do mean well, and I hope this gives you another perspective on what things are like for developers. Thanks ??

I understand your position.
Are you willing to help if we upgrade to pro?

Yes of course.
