Everything is showing for me. If you have just added the information, it takes time for it to update on all pages for everyone. You should allow 24 hours and see if there is still a problem.

I wasn't sure if it that was the case, or if it was something else on my end. Thanks again. I appreciate it.

If you have more questions about it, you will need to contact Support, as we do not handle issues with site functionality in this group.

I'm brand new to Goodreads and am still working my way around how to do things. Thanks again for your response.

I am a new author to Goodreads. I started yesterday and managed to get my Goodreads Author status and logo on my author page. My book is now in the system and one can now search for it. It's called: "Terminal Fiction: Selected Lyrics and Words (1995-2017)". When my book comes up in the search results page, and I click on my author name ("Adolf N.S."), I can see my author page with the information that I've added: Website, Genre, Member Since, and my Bio that I wrote.
However, on the search results page, if you click on my book title (which takes you to my book title page), and then click on my author name from this book page, my author page still shows up, BUT the information that I have added is NOT there: Website, Genre, Member Since, and my Bio that I wrote. In other words, you can not see my website, genre, member since, and bio that I have added.
Why does this information show when clicking on my author name from the search results page, but NOT when clicking on the title and then author? Does it take more time for this? Is there something that I need to do? I'd like users to be able to see this information no matter how they get to that page.
Thank you. I appreciate the help.
