OJS 2.4.8.1 - Surname of author visible to reviewer in breadcrumb

Hi there,

We’ve stumbled on an issue where the reviewer can see author’s surname in the breadcrumb in a double-blind review. On the initial page the reviewer sees, this is no issue, it’s when they view the View Metadata page where this issue occurs:

Is there any way to hide this information from the reviewers?

Thank you for your help!

Hi @kendellpowell,

At a glance, I’m unable to replicate this problem. Can you double-check the OJS version you’re using? Are there any modifications to the system? What does the URL look like to the page that shows the author name unexpectedly? (Feel free to obscure your domain name if you like.)

Hi Alex,

I’ve double-checked the version, and that is correct, however there may have been modifications that I’m unaware of.

The URL looks like: https://epress.lib.uts.edu.au/journals/index.php/epresstest/reviewer/viewMetadata/5338/5688

Thanks for your help!

Hi @kendellpowell,

I would suggest using a tool like diff to compare your installation against the stock version. This seems like a modification to me.
