Problems with using "Simple post template 34" with "Author box" element.

Hello,

I use cloud templates with Newspaper version 9.6 in my blog articles. I have two problems with the “Simple Post Template 34” template, or I haven’t found the right solution.

Problem 1: In the template, I see my information in the “Author box” element on the right. But I am not the author of the article. What do I need to do to get the author of the published article? I’ve done this temporarily like this: I wrote the author’s Id information in the “Author Id” section, but that’s not the right solution.

Problem 2: Social network icons appear below the author’s information on the page. All authors’ social media settings are correctly defined in the WordPress users section. Whichever icon is pressed on the page, it will redirect to the same page. You can see an example of this from this link.

Thanks for your help.
Regards.

Hi,

The author box will always show the same ID, it will not adapt to the actual author of the post when placed in a post template. It isn’t an element created specially for posts.

Only the single post author box will do that – http://prntscr.com/n6e1h5

Maybe duplicate the cloud post template and create one for each author if possible, with the author box configured for each author – http://prntscr.com/n6e3v1
Then each of the author can select their template for their posts, you could rename the templates to be easier to use them – http://prntscr.com/n6e47zhttp://prntscr.com/n6e4f0

Thanks
