Here’s my question about this plugin “EditorialBio”. It made sense for me to try this plugin to ojs 3.3.0-10 LTS version and install it, but then something went wrong and I couldn’t see the menu “biography” users.
I came here to understand, but it was not reflected on our ojs:
I’d like to resolve this issue with the assistance of our editorial board member’s information because it’s required by the indexing website that we want to submit.
I’m asking about how you installed the plugin because sometimes this affects how it operates (e.g. if you’ve installed it through the plugin gallery or manually). I wanted to test it out and see if I got the same result, but in order to do so, I need to know what installation method you used.

Ah, I see, after I upgraded our ojs from 3.3.0-8 to the LTS version, 3.3.0-10, there is an inclusion plugin called EditorialBio in the plugin gallery, which I updated and installed.
But now I can’t find this ‘Biography’ in the User/Role area when I choose a editor.
Is the user you are looking at an Editor or a Journal Manager? And does that Editor or Journal Manager have content in the “Bio Statement” in the “More User Details” section when editing the user’s profile?
All of these conditions are required for the link to appear.
One of the reasons I’m confused about this plugin is the possibility of being viewable in the editorial team menu; when I enter the editorial board name, there’s no need to do any HTML coding; it’s all done automatically with this plugin. By clicking the name, the biography will be displayed.
In OJS 2.x the Editorial Board page functioned as you describe: the page automatically listed those with editorial roles, and automatically linked to the biographies of the editors.
In OJS 3.x this feature was removed and was replaced with allowing the Journal Manager to create an arbitrary HTML page with the Editorial information. Additionally, the biographies as entered in the Editorial user profiles were no longer publicly accessible.
Pitt ULS wanted to continue to use these biographies, so we created this plugin to give these profiles public links in 3.x. This way, the Journal Manager can create a list of the Editorial staff in the HTML editor, and can link to the Biographies which the editors maintain within their own profile data.
