Hi guys, I am totally new to the CMS here and (despite I fail obviously) i love it.

As rightously so pointed out in the great tutorial / guidline book by @thominator : I fail to connect the author 😉

May I ask all who see through the matrix to check where TF 😉 I went wrong based on the screenshots. What did I marked wrongly, did I link something as it has not to be linked?

Thank you!

looking at what you posted, can’t see what the page looks like it may be something different than I describe below, as far as I see you are pointing item.author.name, but your author is title (no title in md), try changing title to name. if you upload to cloud others etc could check

Looking again not sure about your red line from author to title to Sarah when you have a page called author, might be other issues

Is it item not found you are seeing

microblog project I just downloaded, example of pointing at item.??? To pull back ???

Thank you Steve @upssjw That helped a lot to understand, what I was doing wrong.  
What I meant with the line pointing on sarah, strangely, no matter who I click (Michael or Sarah), Michael-page always shows up. I don’t know, if I have connected a ling wrong … I tried to follow all the steps and also checked other docs here in the forum. I can#T find the mistake.

Here is the cloud link: elementsapp://downloadDocument/o6xo0VtCDhrI – good idea to upload it 🙂

THANK YOU! That worked! I would never figure that out by myself. Maybe I am mistaken, but this was not that precise described in the book, or (possible) I didn’t get it there 😉
