[Resolved] Author Box

[Sagar]

Hello there! Is there any solution to add the author box at the bottom of every post without adding a plugin?

If yes, please tell me the full process, how can I add that on my site.

I have installed the security plugin on my site and that plugin is causing the isssue to excute the php.
Error I get:
Unable to execute PHP as DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT is defined.

Thanks Suraj

You can add the PHP Snippet provided here to allow PHP execution just in the GP Hook Element:

Thanks, David. It worked perfectly fine. Could you please customize the PHP code? I want to set the link in the author name with the author page URL.

try this instead it will add the link to the Author Title:

<div class="author-box">
    
    <?php global $post; ?>
	
    <div class="avatar"><?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' )); ?></div>
    
    <h5 class="author-title"><a href="<?php echo get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ); ?>" title="Read more"><?php printf( esc_attr__( 'About %s', 'the author' ), get_the_author_meta( 'display_name') );?></a></h5>
    
    <div class="author-summary">
	
        <p class="author-description"><?php echo wp_kses( get_the_author_meta( 'description' ), null ); ?></p>
 
    </div>
 
</div>

Would you mind on writing like this Written By “Author Name” on ” Published Date”?

Hi there,

Try this:

<div class="author-box">
    
    <?php global $post; ?>
	
    <div class="avatar"><?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' )); ?></div>
    
    <h5 class="author-title">Written by <a href="<?php echo get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ); ?>" title="Read more"><?php echo get_the_author_meta( 'display_name'); ?></a> on <?php echo generate_do_post_meta_item( 'date' ); ?></h5>
    
    <div class="author-summary">
	
        <p class="author-description"><?php echo wp_kses( get_the_author_meta( 'description' ), null ); ?></p>
 
    </div>
 
</div>
