You’ve got a few markup errors in your code, it would be a good idea to fix those first. Use the W3C validator, the problems are simple enough and it shouldn’t take more than a few minutes.

The shopping cart block is being placed within your navigation list in the header, that’s why it’s messed up. I haven’t used e-Commerce Lite plugin so I can’t say what you’d do next, but have they got a forum/blog that you can post to?

Yes, apologies for not replying sooner. There’s a thread here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/60543 that details exactly what you need to do.

It involves hacking the core (or using a myhack file perhaps?), but it’s a simple edit and I can confirm it works perfectly.

Woo, okay I’ve been trying to get the amend link working as well. Now I’m no PHP guru but after a lot of hacking and a sudden “eureka” moment I’ve got it partially going.

It’s a simple edit, in userprofile.php (or whatever you’ve named the plugin as) https://www.wilcob.com/Wilco/Pastecode/2647/showpaste.aspx

Change line 28 from:
if ($action == 'edit'){

to:
if ($_GET['action'] == 'edit') {

Just have to figure out how to post the updated information in line 31 of the plugin, it can’t be sent directly to wp-admin/profile-update.php because that requires sending referrers https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Enable_Sending_Referrers

So near! how do I insert values into a wp_usermeta table?

I’m trying to do exactly the same thing, will start emailing some site owners that have got it working for help. I think it might involve taking some code from wp-admin/users.php. That’s the back end page where new users can be added by the admin.

Thanks! I was just looking into how to do this, I want to use first_name and last_name and then make a username from those and keep it hidden. Username won’t mean anything to most of the visitors to my WordPress site, it’d only serve to annoy and confuse.

Try this: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Author_Templates

The page goes on about it being for authors, but it does work to a limited degree for all registered users. What I’ve found so far, the template_tags won’t list non-authors and URLs like /author/joe won’t work either.

But! ?author=id and ?author_name=joe do work

Now I’m fairly sure I haven’t done anything else to get this much working, but then I’ve been mucking around with a variety of author and profile stuff lately…

Someone else has figured out how to get those /author/joe URLs working (or perhaps it was fixed by a recent upgrade?) but hasn’t yet posted how it came to be fixed.
See it here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/61104

Then it should just be a simple fix to change those “author” URLs to something more appropriate, hope that helps!

Hello, I notice on your website that you’ve managed to fix it so that the URL author/name links now work for authors with 0 posts (e.g. https://www.whatifproject.org.uk/author/reuben)

I’m trying the exact same thing, have the template, using ?author_name=authorName works, ?author=authorID works, but author/authorname fails with a 404 – so, how did you do it? Thanks!

Just a “me too”. I’d like to set up user pages, but most of my users won’t be posting.

Interestingly, the plugin, Get Author Profile https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/39042?replies=12 will show all users/subscribers/authors/admin. I want to use that which would then link to individual profile pages.

There’s a plugin you can get called Role Manager – https://redalt.com/wiki/Role+Manager, with it you can grant subscribers different capabilities.

Looking at what’s available in the plugin, there isn’t an entry for reading private posts, but I suspect if you play around with the user level, that might work. Please note however that I have no idea if upgrading the subscribers user level opens up any vulnerabilities in WordPress, so be careful!
