Hi Tom,
I'm sure this could be done using the GP Hooks but I don't know the exact code I need to type. Could you help me?
Thanks,
Ivan
It would involve a bit too much coding to provide here, but there are plugins you can use.
For example: https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/simple-author-box/
Oh thanks!
By the way, in this case, the website wouldn't load faster using the traditional wordpress author biography with the GP Hooks instead of loading another plugin to your website? Just asking
Thanks again,
Ivan
It depends on the coding in the plugin. Code is code, so adding it as a plugin vs custom code doesn't make a difference if it's the same code.
I see, thanks a lot!
No problem :)
Bringing the topic alive. Has there been any development on bringing the author bio to single post without using a plugin?
Hi Sami, i am unsure that Tom has any plans to integrate this, i think the consensus was as this is content related it is more plugin then theme territory.
I understand but I would argue that using any additional plugins is a security risk and should be avoided.
I would also argue that the bio section is built in feature in WordPress so it is more theme related than plugin related feature. Ideal solution would be that there is a selection in Blog premium blogin with show / hide options for the bio.
Good morning everyone,
Looking for the web, I found this. https://blogpioneer.com/author-box-generatepress/ I would say it is just what you are looking for!
Thanks for sharing - looks awfully familiar to the one used in Dispatch :)
