I should amend, this happened once before, after I finally figured out how to add extra links. But I thought I’d customized so that it wouldn’t happen again?
Support of all commercial themes and plugins is out of scope for these forums. While we will not close your post, we also cannot guarantee any support at all, be that by volunteers or the developers. We recommend you instead use the developer’s official contact for their premium offerings, as that is the most direct line..
Hi @ejauthor
Is this an issue you are seeing with the Genesis Author Pro – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org plugin, or with the Author Pro child theme? The plugin was updated a week ago. If it is an issue with the plugin I recommend that you submit a request on their support forum at [Genesis Author Pro] Support | WordPress.org.
The Genesis Author Pro child theme has not been undated since 2020, and the Genesis framework was last updated inmid-2022.
Let me know if you need some aditional assistance. If the issue is with the child theme you are better off going to the developer for support as noted in @sterndata’s reply.
Thank you, @sterndata and @rynonet. I’m the worst sort of wordpress dabbler who knows only enough to break things. 🙂
But I found the fix (again)! Can I leave this post so if anybody else has this problem, maybe they’ll find this?
Here is a post about how to add link buttons. https://gist.github.com/carrieloves/4b93e84bfda32e1a8811
Turns out, even though the update hid the buttons, the data is still there. So once I put these bits of code back, all the links came back and everything is fine. Yay! Don’t have to redo that part!
Okay, so it is the Author Pro plugin – Genesis Author Pro. Since they just put out an update on the plugin this past week, that new plugin code would overwrite your customizations. Looks like the only change was in line 11 of template.php.
You may want to consder forking that Github repository to your own free Github account so that you have easier access to that code the next time the plugin is updated.
If your question has been answered, we would love if you would mark this topic as resolved in the sidebar. This helps our volunteers find the topics that still need attention and more people will get helped, possibly like you did.
