    Hi, I can see in my Widgets that I can them to Author and Blog pages. I cannot see any Author or Blog pages in my directory and do not know what their purpose is for the directory subscribers. Can you please tell me the best way to set up the blog and author pages and their main purpose? Thanks.

    Blog pages are your normal WP pages:

    GD Blog Details is a page for an individual post and to add a post you would go WP admin > Posts > Add New

    GD Blog Listing is a page for a number of posts

    GD Page Details is a normal WP page and to add a page you would go WP admin > Pages > Add New

    The GD Author page is where your users can review their favorites, edit their listings etc.

    OK I have a good look at the guide but I still seem to have a problem with the Author Pages, from the guide “This is the page displaying content specific to your users when they are logged in; it is your users’ dashboard. It will list their favourite listings and/or events, and the listings they have submitted themselves.”

    When I log in as a user I cannot see the Author page, so I am missing a setting somewhere. Can you help. Thanks.

    See attached image:
    If you add the login widget, then the “my favorites” and “my listings” will take you to the relevant author page.

    PS: the “my favorites” and “my listings” links will only show if the user has favorited something and if they have submitted a listing before.

    The “Add listing” link (and other links) is controlled from GD > Design > Navigation > Show listing link in user dashboard
