    Hi there,

    the simplest way is to use this plugin:

    Okkay. Thanks.

    I thought it’s under GP theme only.

    Thank you very much for your recommendations.

    Regards,

    “the simplest way is to use this plugin:

    Hi,

    I have installed this plugin but even after spending whole day, I was not able to get the desired settings. And finally their support team has replied as:

    “Your theme is not compatible with our plugin.
    Sorry, we can’ help.”

    Now, kindly do the needful at the earliest.

    I have used that plugin on several sites, and so have many other GP users…. seems like their support just can’t be bothered.

    What exactly is the issues you’re having ?

    I am not able to set the author box display properly. It’s not displaying at proper location. bio & image is not visible.

    It maybe my mistake as I am not able to adjust it properly.

    Kindly help me in fixing it.

    Are you wanting multiple authors on a single post ?

    #1627638

    No.

    Different Author for different posts.

    First lets get the Author Box displayed correctly.

    1. go the Author Box plugin settings. And check the Manually insert the Simple Author Box

    2. go to Appearance > Elements and create a new Hook Element.
    2.1 In the text field add:

    <div class="grid-container author-container">
    	[simple-author-box]
    </div>

    2.2 Select Hook: generate_after_main_content
    2.3 Check the Execute Shortcode box.
    2.4 Set the Display Rules to Posts > All Posts.

    For the author image to display the author must have a registered Gravatar:
    https://en.gravatar.com

    Thank you very much for your kind support.

    The above process looks absolutely fine. But,in this case, at Gravatar, there will be only one author. Like, my account, my domain, my profile is connected with Gravatar Account.

    So if you are writing the blog and I want to display your details as author box, then at Gravatar, I have to replace my details with yours?

    Am I correct? Or is there another process?

    That’s why I mentioned in my last reply that I will be having multiple author.

    I haven’t tried your above solution till now, will be trying in sometime soon.

    But, I noticed that the author box is visible at second post which is uncategorised. The author box is blank at categorised post.

    Please suggest now.

    (I am doing all this at my staging site).

    Each Author will have to have their won User Profile and Gravatar.
    You can then select the Author in the Post editor, if you’re writing on their behalf.

    Where can i see the Post with the empty author bio ?
