When I open the profile for Larkins-171  the relationship box says,  Your second great grandson,  when it should read, Your second great grandfather.  Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?

Try clicking on the text or the degree number.  See if that fixes it.

Neither of these suggestions were  able to correct the problem.

I would like to fix this, but it's not easy, because I don't see the problem.  (I believe that you do see this problem, but for me to fix it, I need to see it in my browser to test out possible solutions.)

Thanks, but you already know that it's impossible for you to see what I see in my browser. I'm going to try removing all of the Chrome WikiTree extensions to see if they are causing the snafu.

Nothing worked (that I can do) to correct the relationship data box errors present for the 3 successive generations; Larkins-27, Larkins-141, and Larkins-171.

Thanks for your help with this, Jim.  I think I've found the problem and fixed it (it will be in the next update).

Ian, Your analysis (in your last email) is exactly correct. It is about the user/subject names being the same! Thanks for your fine work. Jim

I just discovered the same problem on the profile for my great-grandmother, for whom I'm named: Hammond-6516. It shows her as "Your First great granddaughter (Confident)."


Katie, Thanks for your comment, which absolutely confirms the cause of the problem. I think that Ian will have it corrected on the next update.

When I look at the profile for my paternal 2nd great grandfather the box correctly says: "Your 2nd great grandfather".

BTW this is not text that is generated by the WikiTree site itself, it is generated by either the WikiTree Browser Extension or the WikiTree BEE extension, whichever one you have installed and enabled.

I'm happy that your relationship box is working correctly, but mine is not. My question was to seek information  about who is able to fix it... The problem is on this profile only. All other relationships are correct.
