Find-my-Past have recently changed the format of the 'View profile page' - so i have created a profile on Wikitree using the new format.

I would like to check that the new format does not produce any problems with the wikitree plus or bio check apps.

I am trying to produce a 'bio check app' report but i get the message :-

'Check Completed. Examined 0 unique profiles. Privacy, date, or other reasons did not allow checking for 1 profiles.'

the profile has the privacy set to open and Mary was born in 1909

Yes, it is possible to use the 'Bio Check app' on just one profile.

I get the following message when I run the app:

Check Completed. Examined 1 unique profiles.

Checked 1 profiles: Found 1 profiles with 0 style issues; 0 marked unsourced; 0 possibly unsourced not marked

Hello Tommy,

Thank you, i have checked again and now i get the same results as you, so it would appear that the new FmP format is OK.

I have also checked and there are no problems being reported on the wikitree plus report.
Hello Tommy,

I found out that the profile had been edited between my checking it and you checking it, i assume as part of the CAT clean-up, what are the chances of that?.

Unfortunately, it now looks as thought the new FmP format is not working with wikitree because the full place of birth is not being transcribed from the GEDCOM into the 'Birth Location:' field.
I think the change you are referring to is when you merged Mason-27079 into Mason-24699.
Hello Tommy,

No, that's not it, about an hour after i asked the question, the profile was edited, then about after another hour you placed an answer to the question, i am assuming that you used the 'Bio check app' just before answering the question.

I have also received another reply regarding the non-appearance of the full 'Birth Location:' in another profile, not closely related to Mary. Although that maybe more to do with the fact that the location does not appear in the drop-down menu.
