Author profile & avatar can’t be edited

Hi @yoppvoice. You probably have some kind of permission or capability restriction on editing taxonomies.

Do you have any permission plugins installed?

To my knowledge, no I don’t have any permission plugins installed. I’m the admin for my site and no one else has access to any editing capabilities but me.

I just tried a couple things.

I logged in and logged back out. When I clicked on “edit user” for my own account, it took me to the standard WordPress edit profile page. When I clicked on “edit author profile,” I saw a flash of a screen with a number of entry fields, which immediately disappeared and went back to being a blank page. After doing this once, I tried the “edit user” button again and it too took me to a blank page.

I tried de-activated and reactivating the plugin. This regained me the ability to click “edit user” and this time, that ability didn’t disappear after I clicked “edit author profile” but it continued to be the case that clicking “edit author profile” resulted in a quick flash of empty entry fields and then a blank page.

Thanks @yoppvoice

It sounds like you have a conflict with another plugin.

1. Try this to find an error: https://publishpress.com/knowledge-base/debug-errors-publishpress-screens/

2. Try disabling other plugins on the site one-by-one

3. If neither work, you can open a support ticket on our site and send the Site Health information.

I found the offending plug-in. It was “Category Editor” by Kevin Heath. The “edit author profile” link is working now. Thank you!

That’s great to hear, thanks @yoppvoice
