how to create an author box without the ...... (read more ) link

Hi there,

Any chance you can link us to the site in question?

You can edit the original topic and use the private URL field.

Let me know :)

I am talking about the latter part of this code:

<div class="author-box">
	<div class="avatar">
		<?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta('user_email'), '96', '' ); ?>
	</div>
	<div class="author-info">
		<h5 class="author-title" itemprop="author" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Person">
			<span itemprop="name"><?php printf( get_the_author_meta( 'display_name') );?></span>
		</h5>
		<div class="author-summary">
			<p class="author-description"><?php echo wp_kses( get_the_author_meta( 'description' ), null ); ?></p></div>
		<div class="author-links">
			<a href="<?php echo get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ); ?>" title="Read more">...</a>
		</div>
	</div>
</div>

The

<div class="author-links">
			<a href="<?php echo get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ); ?>" title="Read more">...</a>
		</div>

function creates a link at the end of the author bio

Hmm removing this part of the code should work:

<div class="author-links">
    <a href="<?php echo get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ); ?>" title="Read more">...</a>
</div>

will I have to edit the corresponding CSS code?

.author-box {
	padding: 3%;
	padding-bottom: 10px;
	margin-top: 60px;
	font-size: 0.9em;
	background-color: #fff;
	display: -webkit-box;
	display: -ms-flexbox;
	display: flex;
	-webkit-box-align: center;
	-ms-flex-align: center;
	align-items: center;
	border-radius: 5px;
	box-shadow: rgba(23, 43, 99, .14) 0 7px 28px !important;
}
.author-box .avatar {
	width: 250px;
	height: auto;
	border-radius: 100%;
	margin-right: 30px;
}
h5.author-title {
	margin-bottom: 0.1em;
	font-weight: 600;
}
.author-description {
	line-height: 1.6em
}
.author-links a {
	margin-top: -1.5em;
	font-size: 2em;
	line-height: 2em;
	float: left;
}
@media (max-width: 768px) {
	.author-box {
		padding: 20px;
		padding-bottom: 0px;
		margin-top: 100px;
		flex-direction: column;
		text-align: center;
	}
	.author-box .avatar {
		margin-right: 0;
		margin-bottom: 10px;
		width: 100%;
		margin-top: -35px;
	}
	.author-box .avatar img {
		max-width: 100px;
	}
	.author-links a {
		float: none;
		align-self: center;
	}
	.author-description {
		margin-bottom: -1.1em;
	}
}

You can remove these two blocks:

.author-links a {
	margin-top: -1.5em;
	font-size: 2em;
	line-height: 2em;
	float: left;
}
.author-links a {
		float: none;
		align-self: center;
}

okay. thanks

No problem :)
