Link post author dynamic link to a static page
3 replies · Started by Carl on February 22, 2022
I started with Dispatch from the site library, and I am trying to make what I think might be a minor modification.
In the Single Post Hero element, I am trying to link the author name field to the site About page /about/ instead of to the author archive page /author/authorname
Is this possible? I've been going through all the documentation and options for 'Dynamic link type'
TIA. <3 GP.
Hi Carl,
If you have GenerateBlocks Pro, you can place the specific Headline Block inside a Container Block and set a link to the Container.

Otherwise, you would need custom code to achieve this. Here is a sample PHP code.
add_filter( 'generate_dynamic_element_url', function( $url, $link_type, $source, $block ){
if ( '44c1ba07' === $block['attrs']['uniqueId'] ) {
$url = 'https://google.com';
}
return $url;
},15,4);Kindly replace the uniqueId(44c1ba07) with the ID of your Block, and the url link to your preferred link.

Here is an article you may refer to regarding adding PHP: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/
If you’re not comfortable with adding/using custom codes, I suggest using GenerateBlocks or hiring a developer because wrongly implemented code may break your site.
Hope this helps! :)
Hi Fernando, I just added that php via code snippets and it worked perfectly!
Thank you for your help.
