[Resolved] Author archive page

Hi Chitan,

At the very least, you’ll need the free GenerateBlocks plugin to achieve this layout. Without it, the amount of custom code to achieve such a page would be out of our scope of support.

Hope this clarifies.

May we know what access you’re referring to?

With regards to the design of Author Archive page, we can first start from the top.

So, here are the first steps you can take.

1. Create a Block Element – Page Hero. Reference to Page Heros: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/block-element-page-hero/
2. Set the Display rule location to Author Archives.
3. Disable the title, featured image, and primary post meta.
4. Create a setup like this: https://share.getcloudapp.com/geuREZ1W
5. Enable dynamic data for the GB Image Block, and set the source to Author Avatar.
6. Add padding, border radius, and modify the width and height of the image to your liking.
7. Enable dynamic date for the GB Headline Block as well. Set the content source to Author name.
8. Add social icons. You can refer to this video for guidance with regards to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=100&v=yAleVWQi5EA&feature=youtu.be
9. Modify the alignment of the Blocks to your preference.

Let us know once you’ve made these changes, and we’ll proceed with the next steps.

Hi there,

are you the only author on that site ?

Hi Chintan,

Do you want to remove all the author posts or just want to remove the pagination?

To be clear, you’ve created static author pages for each author?

If that’s the case, try to add this PHP snippet:

add_filter('request', function( array $query_vars ) {
    if ( is_admin() ) {
        return $query_vars;
    }

    if ( isset( $query_vars['author_name'] ) ) {
        $pagename = $query_vars['author_name'];

        $query_vars = array( 'pagename' => "$pagename" );
    }

    return $query_vars;
} );

Adding PHP: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/

Makes sure your static author page slug matches the author slug.

For example, for author chintanzalani, the static author page slug should be chintanzalani as well.

Let me know if that works!

It looks like you are using SEO plugin.

You should be able to disable author achieve, for example, here’s the guide from Yoast SEO plugin:

Hi there,

if you can do it with the SEO plugin then i would suggest you use that, they would have a far better understanding on how to do it correctly.
