Hi Holger,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Would you mind allowing me to have admin access to the website so that I can have a more detailed look at this for you ?

Please where applicable please provide me with a link to an example page where I can see the issue.

I've enabled the private fields for your next response.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Holger,

I was able to log in and identify the issue.

The problem was that the shortcode was malformed so the correct information wasn't being provided.

When I say malformed it was in your code like this.

"code"[wpv-post-author  "code" format="meta" meta="nickname" "code"]"code"

Instead it should've been like this.

[wpv-post-author format="meta" meta="nickname"]

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane

Thank you, this works fine for me. Is there a smart way to link this to the Authors Post Archive?

Hi Holger,

Unfortunately not, you will need to construct the URL manually by doing the following.


<a href="[wpv-post-author format='url']">[wpv-post-author format="meta" meta="nickname"]</a>

Please try this and let me know.
Thanks,
Shane
