[Resolved] Adding Job Title and Social Links in Author Archive Page

[Vish]

How can I add Job Title (Senior Editor/Contributor etc..) and links to Social Profile such as Twitter/Facebook (in the form of icons; I have font awesome) in the author archive page?

What I’m looking to achieve:
Author Name
Senior Editor | Twitter Facebook

Thank you 🙂

Note: I’m leaving a link to a author page.

Hi there,

Hooks Element should work for this:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/hooks-element-overview/
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/hooks-visual-guide/

The content would be something like:

<?php if ( is_author( 'Vish' )  ) : ?>
    <div class="author-description">Things about Vish</div>
<?php endif; ?>

Make sure Execute PHP is checked.

Select Author Archives in Display Rules.

Let me know 🙂

Actually, it’s probably better to create multiple hooks, then use the filter instead:

Let me know 🙂

Thanks Leo 🙂 I used the first suggestion and it worked perfectly.

However, I don’t understand what exactly is your second suggestion is. Is it mandatory that I follow that? If not, what are the drawbacks?

[Leo]

Both methods should work.

I actually prefer the first method so that you don’t need to create multiple elements 🙂

[Vish]

Thanks for the clarification 🙂

[Leo]

No problem 🙂
