Hello,
I installed BuddyPress which is main feature of my site and can’t manage/find in theme settings how to link Single post Author box BIO and “Social icons” to BuddyPress profile.
– with or without BP Should users still go to WP back end to complete Social information ? YES/NO
– User’s “Biographical info” completed in WP backend appears on Single post Author Box. When BP is activated, the bio info completed in BP doesn’t appear in author box, still only WP fields appear.
As a temporar solution for those 2 issues I can just deactivate Author box in posts. But still the author icon in posts meta will lead to WP author page, I need to BP.
Since the theme is BuddyPress compatible, could you at least inform what to add/modify in codes that Author icon,once BuddyPress is activated, leads to BP profile ? Perfectly will be WP user Social and Bio info synced and completable by users in BP. Thank you in advance. Mini.
Hello,
The theme is compatible with buddypress but that does not mean that theme elements will get replaced by BP. The author box is a theme element that is there with or without buddypress and it was not created to link to buddypress. If you want to redirect the author box or author bio to a bp page, you need to create a 301 redirect: http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/beginners-guide-to-creating-redirects-in-wordpress/
The social information for users can be added in the back-end alone for the theme author box and author info. If you want to hack the theme files and remove theme elements replacing them with BP, then you need to edit the post templates: http://screencast.com/t/TnAyrRRy3ivx You need to replace the author box on posts for every post template you use on your site. Every post style has it;s own file.
Thank you1
