Hi codingcoders,

For the case you mentioned, you should use the custom fields option instead of the shortcode.

Search for “Specify a custom profile to display which has a different username from the post’s author.” in https://littlehandytips.com/plugins/custom-about-author/ to find more information.

Basically you add a custom field name “post-author” with the value of the username of the custom author you like to use.

Hope this helps.

Sounds like the issue you are having is with the Woocommerece plugin, not the google-custom-search.

This has now been fixed in version 1.3.6

Thanks for reporting the issue.

Hi Rocipo,

This has already been done.

Cheers,

What’s your email address? I can send you a copy of the plugin with some debug information for installation on your site so that we can determine the problem and put a fix for it.

Hi jenrstretch,

you need to modify the code display-about-author-block.php from line 275 onwards, replace all “<a href” to “<a target=’_new’ href”

Great website Josh. Love the photo of the mountains.
I’m not sure why your gravatar image is doing that. Wondering if it could be a css issue.

Actually it is a css problem.

Modify the file cab-style.css and change the width to 75px.

.cab-author-inner .cab-author-image{
display: block;
width: 62px;
position: absolute;
padding-left: 6px;
padding-top: 6px;
min-height: 120px;
}

It should do the trick. Let me know if it resolves your issue.

Hi Cwennin,

For the site where the gravatar is not displaying, are you using a custom about author or a standard wordpress author? If you are using a custom about author, can you check to see if you have checked the box to use custom author image?

Otherwise I can’t think of anything which will cause the gravatar to not display. The plugin is using a wordpress provided method call to get the gravatar.

Hi Jay, the latest version of the plugin should address this issue

Hi Cwennin, could you double check to see if an email address was specified in the other site.

Hi srka and Lyyn. Email them to me at edwin [at] littlehandytips [dot] com

Thanks for your help on this.

Hi Claudio,

Thanks, I checked my linkedin and noticed that mine is linkedin.com/in and not linkedin.com/pub

I might change it to linkedin.com instead and let users enter the other bits themselves.

Hi Guys,

I can’t seem to reproduce the problem on my end to determine a fix.

Would anyone of you be willing for me to look into the problem on your site? You can either create a temporary user account for me so that I can log in and look at the problem, or I can give you a version of the plugin which will produce some database debug.

Let me know.
