Author box & links opening in new tabs

Posted in: Newspaper

Hey there,

I currently have two problems on my site. First of all, the author box doesn’t show a profile pic and I cannot find where to add one. User profiles in the WordPress settings won’t change anything at all. Here is an example for the author box: https://www.beyondtheshow.de/star-wars-der-aufstieg-skywalkers-deutscher-trailer-zu-episode-ix/

Also there is a problem with the navigation. Some of the the links in the drop down will open in new tabs. The curious thing is, that this is not the case with all of the links. Usually they should all open in the same tab and not in a new one.

Any help appreciated, thanks!

Hello !

1. In order to get the profile picture of users you have to go to Users – All users, click on edit and at the bottom of the page you’ll find that the users logo is changeable through Gravatar: https://www.screencast.com/t/nZJTAhySGD

Here is a quick tutorial on how to change the user logo via gravatar: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-change-the-default-gravatar-on-wordpress/

2. Indeed, 2 of your items in the menu do open in a new tab. From our experience this is usually due to a plugin conflict. Please disable all non-theme related plugins and try again.

Thank you !

Thanks for the quick reply. Is there any other possibility for the author box than Gravatar? Due to German Data Protection Laws Gravatar is very problematic 🙁

Kind regards

Hello !

You could try WP User Avatar, https://ro.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-user-avatar/. Hope this helps.

Thank you !
