Ok thanks for your support and time paolo. I appreciate everything.
October 12, 2015 at 8:47 pm in reply to: How to rename author link for author archive listing page #56651I’m sorry but i’am able to use ultimate members fully with no problem together with geo directory and have a fully functional gd dashboard that works properly. So this is not the issue at all if im actually already using everything without any problems together. It seems you are not understanding my issue at all, i was asking for a solution to rename the “author” listing page url or a solution to create a new author listing page, so i can be able to use my “author” urls for another purpose. If the page is for geo directory listings plugin, i don’t see the purpose or reason for it to use WordPress archive page or use the “author” name in the url. Because of this, im limited for using my site with other plugins that enhance the author features. I appreciate your support and for you taking the time out and replying back. If there is not a solution with your plugin at this time, please let us know, thanks again.
October 12, 2015 at 7:17 pm in reply to: How to rename author link for author archive listing page #56642Thanks, but we were only looking for a way to create a new author listing page or rename it, so it doesn’t use the word “author” in its url. We are not at all looking to integrate ultimate members, because the issue doesn’t reside with the ultimate members plugin, the issue is just having the author geodirectory listing page url using the word “author” and not having a way to create a new “author” listing page or at the least, being able to rename the url so it doesn’t have the word “author” that WordPress uses inside its urls as well. Ultimate members allows you to create every page such as the user page, directory page, login page, etc by simply inserting a short code in the page, but geo directory it not that universal and we have no control over the pages created or the names of the urls associated with the pages, which is ok, cause geodirectory it still a very great plugin, but its very hard when you use the default WordPress roles such as “author” as part of the names in the urls with geodirectory pages. This is where the problem relies. I know this may seem not like a big issue, but it really is, cause actually, on all of our other sites, we don’t even use the archive pages. Simply, cause we choose to not let others know we are using WordPress and so do many others company’s and individuals.
October 12, 2015 at 12:19 am in reply to: How to rename author link for author archive listing page #56576Thanks for the post link Guust, but i have read the post lots of times before i decided to ask for support. I will try to explain a little more clear on the issue. My issue is actually a little different because ultimate members actually provide many many settings in the WordPress admin to set ultimate member profiles to redirect, change the user profile slug and gives you the option to use profile user id, username or display name. Along with so many other options that basically allows you to have your member profiles anyway you choose. This is also besides the features it provides and support. The problem is actually the geo Author listing page having the slug use the word “author” part of the url. The reason is Geo doesn’t populate the author of the geo listing avatar and link to the author profile to allow other users who view the listing to know who made the listing. So to accomplish this feature, i use the Meks Smart Author Widget plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/meks-smart-author-widget/. With this widget plugin, it actually populates the author who created the geo listing Avatar and Profile link in the side bar in the author listing page, but because im not using the default author WordPress profile and instead im using ultimate members profile, when the user clicks on the author avatar or link in the geo listing, that will be redirected to the default wordpress author profile instead at mysite.com/author/username, so to prevent this, i use the Edit Author Slug at https://wordpress.org/plugins/edit-author-slug/, this allows me change the “author” name to “users” in the default WordPress url for authors. so now when the author avatar and profile link is clicked from the author geo listing, the user get taken directly to the Author profile with Ultimate Members. So because of this, when the author of the geo listing try to view his listings, he is redirected to his profile instead of his geo directory listings page because geo directory uses the word “author” in the slug url. Please understand, that this issue will be with anyone using the default WordPress profiles not just us because the geo directory uses “author” in there slug. So basically it stops anyone from having the freedom to change the default WordPress author profiles without interfering with the author geo listing page, cause the slug uses “author” in the url. It will be useless for us to not have the author avatar and url to there profile on there listing page so other users cant see who made the post and view there profile. I must admit the plugiin is top notch and we will like to use it, but we need a way to either change the author archive listing link url with “author” or have the ability to make a whole new listing page template that will allow us to have a different page name or slug. So this why we are asking for support cause we have virtually read all the post dealing with author archives and have been trying to resolve this issue for a week now. any help would be so much appreciated.
October 11, 2015 at 9:28 pm in reply to: How to rename author link for author archive listing page #56566Thanks for responding. Im sorry BuddyPress is not a option, as mentioned in the post above, we are currently using ultimate members plugin for our member profiles. We were not aware that your plugin features relied on using BuddyPress, i noticed that this seems to be the answer that’s keeping getting mentioned in all other post concerning all other author archive support issues or help. Thanks, we would appreciate any help on this matter once again from you or Paolo.
