Author and Post - is working fine in preview, but once posted does not work … ‘no item found’

Had a quick look, but you’re using the single author item incorrectly. Locally it’s just grabbing the first author to show you a preview (but this shouldn’t even work).

The Author page (with a single item) should only be used for linking to from your posts.

You ideally want an “Authors Page” using the Collection Component to show all authors.

Here’s a video, please note: I made a few missteps as I was doing this on the quickly, on the fly, but ideally you want to set it up more like this…

Hope that helps!

Dan - many thanks but I can’t hear you … perhaps it’s at my end ? - if you have that video with sound, could you possibly post it again ? Jol

Ah, that’s annoying, looks like the mic was off. Hopefully you can still follow along by watching what I’m doing in the video.

In short, it’s not a bug in Elements; it’s just that the authors are set up incorrectly.
