Hi jkauss,

Thank you for contacting DesignWall! My name is Kevin and I am happy to be of assistance in this matter.

To solve your issue. You can add the code below to wp-content/themes/your-theme-folder/functions.php

add_action('init','dwqa_theme_change_author_link');
function dwqa_theme_change_author_link() {
	$um_permalinks = new UM_Permalinks();
	add_filter( 'dwqa_get_author_link', array( $um_permalinks, 'profile_url' ) );
}

Warm Regards,
Kevin.

Hi Kevin-
I found a weird bug in this today where author links are acting strange. Just posted a new question about it. Could you have a look?

Thanks.

I just tried to use this code and am getting a 500 error. Is there an update to getting the DWQA author to link to the UM profile?

You can download the dwqa-templates folder from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/twzmf8d2nssyedc/dwqa-templates.zip?dl=0
Then add this folder to your theme folder.
