Daily Tip: Add an Author Box to WordPress Posts with the WP About Author Plugin
November 17, 2010
We’ve posted tutorials in the past for adding and customizing an author box for your WordPress posts, but we’ve got an even quicker solution for you now. The WP About Author plugin is the easiest way to add a customizable author bio below your posts. The plugin works right out of the box with the profiles that are already built into WordPress. Check out a screenshot:
WP Author Box Features
- Three border styles to match any theme
- Change background color with easy to use color picker
- Display settings allow you to control when to display author bios
- Expands profile page by adding Twitter and Facebook
Use this plugin to help readers get to know the blog author a little better and add a touch of personality.
Because this plugin/widget is provided free of charge, I simply ask you to link back to Pressography.com in a post on your blog, or from one of your sites. It doesn't need to be anything fancy - just a note saying that you're using it, and whether or not you like it. However, there is no requirement that you do this, you're free to use the plugin regardless.
