We have multiple authors on our blog. Unfortunately, the author is not displaying at all even though we are showing the entire post.

I have poked around quite a bit and can’t find a place to activate display of the author and/or their picture.

Thanks.

Oh
Icon is the stack.

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in! We have the [author] shortocode that you can use to display author info. Please refer to the following link for detailed information (http://theme.co/x/demo/icon/1/shortcodes/author/).

Hope that helps.

Thanks.

But I don’t understand where to put the short code. There is no obvious place for that in the User Profile.

We don’t want to have to manually list it every time.

I am currently manually putting the short code into each post. Now that I started doing this, the blog roll I set up to list only individual authors on their pages isn’t working. Now all posts are listed even though the widget says to pull only one author.

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in!

If you wish to show the author profile automatically below each single post page, this will require a template change. Because this requires a template change, I’d advise that you setup a child theme. This allows you to make code changes that won’t be overwritten when an X update is released. After your child theme is setup, please review how we recommend making template changes in Customization Best Practices.

After that, simply add following code in your child theme’s functions.php file:

// Author Field below the post content - Single page only.
// =============================================================================

add_filter( 'the_content', 'custom_author_code');

function custom_author_code($content) {
   if ( is_single() ) {
      return $content . do_shortcode('[author title="About the Author"]');
   } else {
      return $content;
   }
}

Hope this helps. 🙂

Thank you.

Awesome, but how do I display the full name and not the username on not only the post but the blog post page

Hi,

To display full name on your blog aang single posts, please add the code below in your child theme’s functions.php file

function x_shortcode_author_v2( $atts ) {

  $style     = ( $style     != '' ) ? 'style="' . $style . '"' : '';
  $title     = ( $title     != '' ) ? $title : __( 'About the Author', csl18n() );
