Hello im looking to get a simple author bio on my blogs posts
i do not want to install an additional plugin
March 18, 2023 at 9:58 pm #1401641Hey joshpb,
Please see this article: Method 4. Adding Author Info Box I tested this and it uses your profile info:
You add this code to the end of your child theme functions.php file in Appearance ▸ Editor:function wpb_author_info_box( $content ) { global $post; // Detect if it is a single post with a post author if ( is_single() && isset( $post->post_author ) ) { // Get author's display name $display_name = get_the_author_meta( 'display_name', $post->post_author ); // If display name is not available then use nickname as display name if ( empty( $display_name ) ) $display_name = get_the_author_meta( 'nickname', $post->post_author ); // Get author's biographical information or description $user_description = get_the_author_meta( 'user_description', $post->post_author ); // Get author's website URL $user_website = get_the_author_meta('url', $post->post_author); // Get link to the author archive page $user_posts = get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' , $post->post_author)); if ( ! empty( $display_name ) ) $author_details = '<p class="author_name">About ' . $display_name . '</p>'; if ( ! empty( $user_description ) ) // Author avatar and bio $author_details .= '<p class="author_details">' . get_avatar( get_the_author_meta('user_email') , 90 ) . nl2br( $user_description ). '</p>'; $author_details .= '<p class="author_links"><a href="'. $user_posts .'">View all posts by ' . $display_name . '</a>'; // Check if author has a website in their profile if ( ! empty( $user_website ) ) { // Display author website link $author_details .= ' | <a href="' . $user_website .'" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Website</a></p>'; } else { // if there is no author website then just close the paragraph $author_details .= '</p>'; } // Pass all this info to post content $content = $content . '<footer class="author_bio_section" >' . $author_details . '</footer>'; } return $content; } // Add our function to the post content filter add_action( 'the_content', 'wpb_author_info_box' ); // Allow HTML in author bio section remove_filter('pre_user_description', 'wp_filter_kses');
and this css:
.author_bio_section{ background-color: #F5F5F5; padding: 15px; border: 1px solid #ccc; } .author_name{ font-size:16px; font-weight: bold; } .author_details img { border: 1px solid #D8D8D8; border-radius: 50%; float: left; margin: 0 10px 10px 0; max-height: 60px; max-width: 60px; }
Best regards,
