Layout Builder - Condition Author page?

[mickna]

Hi there,

I want to have a new layout for the author page (www.mydomain.com/author/nameOfAuthor).
But I don’t find the right condition settings. Under Layout Editor -> Conditions I can’t find any typo which belongs to “author”.
Can someone point me the right direction?

Thank you,
Michael

Hello Michael,

Thanks for writing to us.

To assign the layout for the author you need to go to the Layout builder ---->Click on the settings icon—Assignment—>Condition—>You can set the “Any author” OR you have an option of a specific author as well.

Hope it helps
Thanks

Hello @prakash_s

thank you for your answer. That’s what I thought too. Unfortunately under Layout Builder -> setting -> Assignment -> condition I have no entry with “Author” as a condition.

Hi Michael,

There are only two options are available for the Authors in Conditions as shown by my colleague. Please let us know if you are not able to see those options too. If that is the case, there might be some different reasons behind your issue. I would like to suggest troubleshooting the following common issues to help us to recognize the reason.

1.Theme Related Issue
2.Plugin Conflict
3.Theme Update related issue
4.Child Theme Related issue ** if you have activated it.
5.CSS/JS Customization
6.Disabling Cache
7.Disabling CDN

If you discover that an issue is coming from a custom code or 3rd party plugin, kindly consult with a developer or contact the plugin author. Please note that we do not provide support for custom codes and 3rd party plugins.
If the issue was caused by our theme, please provide login credentials for your site in a secure note to examine it further, including:

Hi there,

I have deactivated all plugins, changed to Pro (from child) and still no Author available.
Please have a closer look at my site. As we should still work, we will have on plugin (and some extensions for this plugin) active. If you want to deactivate it, pleas drop me a line.

Hi Michael,

The Author option for the Condition is only available for the Archive templates. I have checked and found that you created the Single template for which the Author option is not available. I went ahead and created an Archive template, you can find the Author option in it.

Hope it helps.
Thanks

Thank you. I always forget the option with “Archive” Layout page.
Works Perfect
