Hello!

I played around with some suggestions from the forum and the available shortcode but came to realize that I would need your help.

Here is my situation.. Im posting articles mainly from two different authors on our blog page. I want to display a brief "about the author" section at the end of every post which should look like the shortcode you already provide on that topic. What do I have to do to display the profile of the authors even though Im posting the articles?

Many thanks,
Sebastian

Hi there,

Please add following code in child theme’s functions.php file :

add_filter( 'the_content', 'about_author' );
function aabout_author($content){
  if ( is_singular('post') ) {
    $content .= do_shortcode('[author title="About the Author"]');
  }

  return $content;
}

Hope it helps.

Thanks for the quick answer.
How can I change the picture and the name of the Author plus give a brief summary about the author?

Thanks,
Sebastian

Thanks for the swift reply but how can I select authors for different posts?

Hello There,

If you want to have a different author in your post, you will have to edit each of the posts and change the author from there. Please check this links:

Hope this helps.
