Hi,
I am using the [gd_listings] shortcode in a page I am trying to set up as an admin/dashboard page.

I want users to be able to have a link in the main navigation to all their listings and invoices and favorites.

It is working as it is, however, I would like empty widgets to be hidden.

A user who has a school will probably not also have a business listing etc.

If I could get the widget to include draft author postings as well (like the dashboard) that would be good as well.

Basically, I want the dashboard page but from the main navigation (and I don’t want BP and I can’t get the dynamic page as a custom page link so I am trying this as a workaround).

Thanks,
Lise

Hi Lise,

Thanks for your post. Have you seen this plugin? https://userswp.io/ . This plugin allows you to create a nice profile for your users. Let us know if it’s what you’re looking for.

Thanks!

Ok, Thanks. I was hoping to not install another plugin but you’re right.

I have installed userswp now and I have created the page I needed.

Cheers
Lise

I just realised that userswp has taken away the author page.

I would like to keep the author page for blog posts – and to not have all the references to CPT in the author page.

Can I re-instate the author page without losing the new profile pages – which will work for users.

I can also use a different code in the blog I suppose to link to author??

Currently, the only blog author is me, but there will be others later on and the blog-post-author page is important.

Thanks,
Lise

Hi,

Author and Profile page are different for all users. UWP by default redirects to profile page while visiting author page. If you want to keep the author page as it is you can try following code in your currently active theme’s functions.php file:
```
add_filter('uwp_check_redirect_author_page', '__return_false', 10);
```
Regards,
Patrik

sorry, that stopped all user pages from loading and did not reinstate the blog author page.

Hi,

The code I provided above will load the default author page instead of redirecting to the author profile. You want to display the author page with the author info and his posts right? Can you use the previous snippet and let me know so that I can look into your site? Also, provide me FTP details so that I can look more into this issue.

Regards,
Patrik

Hello,

after some testing, it seems like a small change to the snippet was needed.
```
add_filter('uwp_check_redirect_author_page', 'uwp_redirect_author_page_cb');
function uwp_redirect_author_page_cb(){
    return false;
}

add_filter('uwp_use_author_page_content', 'uwp_redirect_author_page_cb');
```
This has been updated for your site.
