    Where is this data coming from?
    http://www.raindancedev11.com/author/doug/
    I’m talking about the author box at the top.
    I realize I can just delete it from the template author.php
    But if I keep it my questions are:
    -How to add more stuff into the About tab? It looks funny just the email icon.
    -How to set the Read More link in the Bio tab to go to the About Us page?

    I don’t see anywhere I’ve asked for this to be on my author pages, nor do I see where to control it.

    Thanks

    Sorry, I see. User screen in admin controls what shows up, got it.

    resolved.

    Actually not resolved, sorry.
    I’m not finding how to set the Read More link to where I want it to go (about us page) in the Bio tab.
    What controls that and where do I change it? It just goes to the same page it’s already on which is the blog post archive.

    Thanks.

    To enable author box controls and settings enable and update the Staff Directory extension. That gives you control on the contents of the author pages and author box contents

    If I don’t want the author box there at all, just delete it from the author.php file? Or is that not the right way to do it?

    You can freely customise the files inside your theme folder. So yes comment it out like this.

    change:
    <?php echo epl_property_author_box(); ?>

    to

    <?php \\ echo epl_property_author_box(); ?>

    the \\ comments out the php code.

    These types of questions are fine Laura and what this support is for.

    I’ve installed and activated your new Staff Directory version.
    It doesn’t look like you have very much control over it in the settings?
    -Can you opt not to display recent listings?
    -I see how to change the label for read more but not where the link goes. When you have an author box on the blog archive it’s silly for it to go to itself. Is there a way to set all author’s Read More link to the About Us page?
    -Is there a way to not display a read more link?

    I’m not asking for customizations. I’m asking if these things are here and I’m missing them. I’ve looked at your screenshots. It looks like you don’t get much control over it? Maybe I’m missing something.

    Another question.
    I was using WP Avatar because it let me have which images I wanted in the wp user admin screen. But what I’ve got in your new staff directory doesn’t show up there, and, they don’t have gravatars. Is there an option for the image being used for staff directory to be what shows up for a wp user in the user admin screen?

    Just a question.

    Re the author box questions…again, just questions. I’m fine with it the way it is just asking what can be changed. And yes, I see the option for read more to go to the staff directory page, I’m asking if you can set it to to to a url of your choosing, like the about us. Not a big deal need, just asking to know options.

    Is this still an issue or was it a anomaly?

    Also posted a video on how to use the staff directory extension here.
