About Me widget on sidebar
9 replies · Started by Pearl on September 14, 2019
Hi,
is there a widget in GeneratePress theme to make an About Me section on a site's sidebar?
Example this site has an About Me section on the right sidebar--https://www.theburningkitchen.com/home-made-barbequed-pork-bak-kwa-recipe/
Hi there,
There isn't anything built-in but you can just use an HTML widget.
The example site is using this as content:
<p><a href="https://LINK-URL"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail" src="https://IMAGE-URL" alt="" width="150" height="150"></a>ABOUT ME TEXT a href="https://LINK-URL">Read more!</a></p>
I also provided another style here:

Let me know if this helps :)
OK,
I put a Custom HTML widget on my right sidebar and input the following code:
<p>
</p>
<p>Hi, I’m Pamela from IAMLEANANDSTRONG.COM.
</p>
<p>Learn more</p>
And I uploaded my image file to my server. Why is the image not showing up on my site? https://iamstrongandlean.com/
This is the code I put in the widget, I noticed my previous reply didn't show it.

The code didn't show up again in my previous reply, here you go.

(Hi Pearl. Off-topic here. For your site speed, I recommend you remove the sharing plugin you have from Shareaholic and use this one instead. https://wordpress.org/plugins/scriptless-social-sharing/.

OK thanks for your advice. Do you have an answer to why my picture is now showing at my About Me on the right sidebar?
If you go to the image link, it says "We cannot complete this request, remote data could not be fetched".
Can you double check the URL?
Hi,
thanks for your reply, I got it fixed, I realized I had my photo named a different way.
No problem :)
