Where do I as a reader find information about subscription in OJS 3?

Hi
In OJS 2 the reader could find information about subscriptions under About, for example
http://www.mscand.dk/about/subscriptions
The same information is apparently not available for the reader in OJS 3, or have I overlooked something?
In the Subscription Block there is a link (‘Learn more’) with a link to /about/subscription but the page doesn’t exist.

Hi @nef,

What specific version of OJS are you using? (Please include this in your posts.)

Sorry, we’re using the 3.1.1.2 version

Poking around in the code I found the reason why the /about/subscriptions url did not work for @nef in ManualPaymentPlugin::isConfigured(). This function will return false if the manualInstructions field is empty.
As expected after looking at the code, filling in the payment instructions field enabled the /about/subscriptions url.
The UI does not enforce this which it perhaps should to avoid any confusion.

Hi @nef and @tgc99,

Good spotting – I’ve filed this at Improve feedback when payment settings unconfigured · Issue #3844 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub.
