--- PROJECT DETAILS ---
We use the PublishPress Authors plugin. It allows you to assign a URL to a guest author, but it rewrites the URL into a specific format. We want to change this so that whatever URL is placed in the user-specified field in the backend is the URL that is used by the system on the frontend. THIS INCLUDES ANY SLASHES (/) OR DASHES THAT ARE PRESENT IN THE URL.
Example: Lets say your site is domain.com. Using the plugin mentioned above, it will allow you to specify the text that appears as the URL for a Gust Author link. The plugin has a field where you enter the text you want to use as your customized URL (this is called the Author URL). HOWEVER, the plugin will add /author/ BEFORE your customized text will appear. Please see below
[login to view URL]
What we want to do is REMOVE the /author/ part of the link, so that it appears like this:
[login to view URL]
ALSO, we want to make it so that we can use slashes in our customURL. For instance, if we wanted to use this as the Author URL:
CustomURL/more info
Then the final URL would appear as this:
[login to view URL] info
Right now when we type CustomURL/more info into the Author URL field, it changes the slashes (/) into dashes (-). WE DONT WANT THAT. We want to be able to input slashes and have the plugin use what we type in.
So, again this is what we want to do:
- use the PublishPress Authors plugin
- type whatever wed like into the Author URL field
- force the plugin to NOT add the /author/ part to the end of the URL
- force the plugin to allow the use of slashes (/) in the Author URL
The plugin can be found here: [login to view URL]
Its a SUPER SIMPLE project that probably could take 10 minutes to someone who knows this stuff inside and out.
