Hey Bogdan,

I followed the steps outlined in the guide. I did not see any change in the number of Facebook fans. I cleared the caches, and also purged the Varnish cache on the server. Still no change. I saw that some other posters had seen a change a few hours later, so I decided to wait and see what would happen.

The next morning the number was showing correctly. It just takes time it seems.

Thank you!

I followed the steps on the second link and I am still seeing 0 fans.

Follow the instructions for Headers on this page about child theming for Newspaper: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/

Then, on line 52 of top-menu.php change the following code:

… get_author_posts_url($current_user->ID) …

to the following:

… bp_core_get_user_domain($current_user->ID) …

Now the user links to their BuddyPress profile instead of their author page.

For future posters who may want to link the user link on the top bar to the user’s buddypress account, it is a very easy change.

That is what I suspected. Thanks for getting back to me so promptly!
