Blog Author Block

1) If you want to add the author blog to single post pages open up single.php and replace:

get_template_part( 'includes/loop', 'index' );

with:

get_template_part( 'includes/loop', 'index' );



$author_id    = get_query_var( 'author' );

if(empty($author_id)) get_the_author_meta('ID');

$gravatar     = get_avatar( get_the_author_meta('email', $author_id), '75' );

$name         = get_the_author_meta('display_name', $author_id);

$heading      = __("About",'avia_framework') ." ".$name;

$heading_s    = __("Entries by",'avia_framework') ." ".$name;

$description  = get_the_author_meta('description', $author_id);



if(empty($description))

{

$description  = __("This author has yet to write their bio.",'avia_framework');

$description .= '</br>'.sprintf( __( 'Meanwhile lets just say that we are proud %s contributed a whooping %s entries.' ), $name, count_user_posts( $author_id ) );



if(current_user_can('edit_users') || get_current_user_id() == $author_id)

{

$description .= "</br><a href='".admin_url( 'profile.php?user_id=' . $author_id )."'>".__( 'Edit the profile description here.' )."</a>";

}

}



echo "<span class='post-author-format-type blog-meta'><span class='rounded-container'>{$gravatar}</span></span>";

echo "<div class='author_description '><h3 class='author-title'>{$heading}</h3>".wpautop($description)."<span class='author-extra-border'></span></div>";

2) To remove the preview image link open up includes/loop-index.php and delete following line:

if($slider) $slider = '<a href="'.$link.'">'.$slider.'</a>';
