Hi.
For our website we have installed the publishpress multiple author plugin.
For all the single posts, we use the template loop-single-5.php, where we have altered the author bit from this
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_author();?>
to this
<div id="publishpress-author">Door <?php do_action('pp_multiple_authors_show_author_box', false, 'inline');?>/div>
However, in the overview page, located here: Camera eye overview created with the cloud library, we have something strange going on.
Our editor, ‘Jan van Den Bulck’, has created a post (right at the bottom of the page if you scroll through, above the “laad meer” button) and designated the author to ‘Nathan Dobbelaere’. This specific overview page uses the flex block module 1.

Then something odd happens, while the author on the post itself is correctly attributed to Nathan Dobbelaere, as can be seen here: post of the kooks, the overview page shows Jan Van Den Bulck.

To further deepen the mystery, this doesn’t seem to happen to all authors and randomly on top of that.
Suggestions on how to fix this ?
I have already altered the td_module_flex_1.php to show additional details next to the title, such as concertlocation and concert date.
Originally in the theme is this:
<span class="td-author-date">
<?php if( $author_photo != '' ) { echo $this->get_author_photo(); } ?>
<?php echo $this->get_author();?>
<?php echo $this->get_date();?>
<?php echo $this->get_comments();?>
</span>
Currently I have this:
<div class="post-title">
<?php get_the_title( $id );?>
<?php echo $this->get_title($title_length);?>
<h3 class="entry-title td-module-title">
<?php $datum = get_field( "datum" , $this->post->ID ); $concertlocatie = get_field( "concertlocatie" , $this->post->ID );//etc...?><?php if ( $datum ) : ?><a>post->ID);?>"<span class="cemetadate"><?php echo $datum ; ?></span></a><?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( $concertlocatie ) : ?><a>post->ID);?>"<span class="cemetacelocation"><?php echo $concertlocatie['0']; ?></span></a><?php endif; ?></h3>
</div>
…
<span class="td-author-date">
<?php if( $author_photo != '' ) { echo $this->get_author_photo(); } ?>
<?php echo $this->get_author();?>
<?php $datum = get_field( "datum" , $this->post->ID ); $concertlocatie = get_field( "concertlocatie" , $this->post->ID );//etc...?>
<?php if ( $datum ) : ?><span class="frontce"><?php echo $datum ; ?></span><?php endif; ?>
<?php echo $this->get_date();?>
<?php if ( $concertlocatie ) : ?><span class="metacelocation"><?php echo $concertlocatie['0']; ?></span><?php endif; ?>
<?php echo $this->get_comments();?>
</span>
Could you help me with this please ?
It would seem that there is an issue with the $this->get_author getting to see the correct post id, which I can not replace as simply as I did with the loop mentioned above: <?php do_action(‘pp_multiple_authors_show_author_box’, false, ‘inline’);?>
If possible don’t mention that the publishpress plugin isn’t tested, I already know that.
It seems a bit odd that it works on posts but not on the cloud templates.
I am working with the older version of the theme 9.6 and plugins.
I have refrained from trying the X version since I want to iron out the final mistakes first.
Hi Vlad,
Thanks but that didn’t help. This box was working fine before I deleted the extra users but now it’s not working at all. It won’t even load a header for the the block!
Here’s a screenshot: https://www.screencast.com/t/1lIyRnKhh
The author ID in the screenshot is sort of covered by a LastPass button overlay but the correct author ID is in the box under that overlay.
Also I am having another BIG problem with the site – on my own computer, when I’m logged into WordPress, all the images load fine. But on Other computers and mobile devices the images are not loading.
Here’s a screenshot of that same part of the page, where I’m not logged in: https://www.screencast.com/t/VYna7G8yc
Images are also not loading on post pages.
What can I do to fix this?
Newspaper theme and tagdiv are totally new to me so I am at a loss as to how to fix this.
Thanks,
Kathee
Hello !
Please make sure that all the information found in the Author box are correct: https://www.screencast.com/t/dgrEgFYi
Thank you !
Hello! I had set up my WP site with three users who were all me (can’t remember why). I didn’t like the particular version that the Author Box block was picking up, so I deleted 2 of them. The remaining user is the Admin, and all posts are attributed to it.
But now the Author box isn’t picking up anything – no photo, no info.
How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Kathee
I think you didn’t read my post properly.
Kindly check this URL – https://www.universalnews.org/apple-rolls-out-improved-maps-across-the-united-states/
Author Box is Enabled, and it’s showing in the Page as well.
Author Name and Details are showing.
But, Author Photo is Not showing.
There is no option to Add Author Photo in this Theme Dashboard.
I know, WordPress Only Allow Gravatar Images,
https://forum.tagdiv.com/author-card/
in this Thread says Install a Plugin.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-user-avatar/
What Exactly I’m asking is, Newspaper Should have this Function by Default…
Without Install a 3rd party Plugin, Can I show Image in Author Card?
if Possible, Let me know How…
if Not, Kindly Add This Function as a Default Function.
TagDiv Newspaper like Popular Theme Requires a 3rd party plugin for a Basic feature?
Hi Calin,
Thanks for coming back to me. I have to apologise as I’ve just realised I was being an idiot. The “Author” dropdown wasn’t appearing when I was editing posts (which is why I contacted you in the first place) but the reason for this is that our bloggers’ user profiles weren’t set to “Author” and instead were sitting as standard subscribers. Once I elevated their profile type, the Author box appeared.
Apologies again,
Pete
So the twitter icon is showing up in the author box on blog post pages, but not on the author page. Is there a reason for that?
Hello !
1. Yes, that is possible if you’re using only post template from the cloud library. All the cloud templates are fully editable using the tagDiv Composer. Find out more about it here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/design-post-pages-using-cloud-library-templates/
2. Unfortunately without using gravatar that option would not be possible since WordPress only works with that.
3. As you can see here: https://www.screencast.com/t/eKxQCkpAHVH when using an Author Box you will be able to set multiple urls so you can redirect your users to another place.
4. That can be removed using custom CSS. In order to set it on certain posts you will need to specify that. Provide us a page where you’d like to have the word By gone and we’ll show you how to remove it.
Thank you !
Hi,
For standard post templates, you can remove the author box from Theme Panel> Post settings > post and custom post types -> https://i.imgur.com/VbZlFz4.png
If you are using cloud templates, single post templates from tagDiv Cloud Library, then you’ll need to edit it with tagDiv Composer and use the right click on the element that you want to remove, like this -> https://i.imgur.com/i6Z0pnr.png -> https://i.imgur.com/jmHgLLd.png
Thank you!
Hi, I have 4 questions about the author box :
1- I’d like to show an author box at the end of only some chosen posts, is it possible?
2- I understand that the image in the standard author box is necessarily the gravatar from the WordPress account of the author. If I want to show who is the author of a post written by an external writer, and I don’t want him to be a contributor on my wordpress website, I think that I need to create myself his author profile. How should I do to import his portrait (I’ve got the image as a jpg file) without editing his wordpress account/gravatar ?
3- When I click on the name of an author just below the post title, it goes to my homepage (exemple here: https://devenirbilingue.com/apprendre/anglais/cours-formation/certifications-danglais-laquelle-choisir/). I’d like to choose the URL where it goes, or to create an author page with all the posts from this author.
4- In some cases I’d like to replace the author name below the post title, by something like “Guest post”. For that I need to delete the word “By” in front of the author name. In the translations tab I can’t leave it blank. Is it possible to show only the author name with no “introductory word” ?
Thank you !
How to remove this author box from every post, I am using m1 post format. Want to completely hide it
ss:https://prnt.sc/qwpnlh
This solution did not help me, I can literally delete the entire content of the file:
\wp-content\plugins\td-cloud-library\shortcodes\author\tdb_author_box.php
and nothing changes 🙁
It must be some another file to edit
Hello.
I need to delete the author page link (link on author archives) from the author box in the single post template (make it text only, not clickable). Where can I find a file with code of the author box used in the single post template?
I have found only \wp-content\plugins\td-standard-pack\Newspaper\parts\page-author-box.php – but this is not author box. In previous Newspaper 9 author box was in wp-content\themes\newspaper\includes\wp_booster\td_module_single_base.php Now i cant find it.
Theme: Newspaper 10.2
Hi – thanks for the reponse. I understand now that this is the place where I need to make the change – my question is how to do this. Where is the code that creates this author box and how do I remove it? Thank you!
There seems to be a disconnect between the Theme Panel and the TagDiv Composer. No edits that I make in the Theme Panel seem to take effect. For example, I am trying to remove the footer author box, disabling the option and saving in the Theme Panel. This has no effect. Please help!
I’m having the same issue. Can’t get rid of the author box at the bottom of the post page no matter what I save or do.
Hi,
I’ve updated a site from 8 to 9 and then to 10. Besides, it was a nightmare. The worst update I have made (in the WordPress world) in more than 10 years. Took me more than 10 hours to migrate the modified templates to the new system. Not funny, really not funny.
For now, I would prefer to use the child theme, since migrating to the cloud library would be even more time-consuming. Unfortunately, nothing works (according to your tutorial).
I use the following modified template files:
TD-STANDARD-PACK plugin
/td-standard-pack/Newspaper/parts/header/header-menu.php
/td-standard-pack/Newspaper/parts/header/header-style-1.php
/td-standard-pack/Newspaper/parts/page-author-box.php
/td-standard-pack/Newspaper/includes/modules/td_module_4.php
/td-standard-pack/Newspaper/loop.php
/td-standard-pack/Newspaper/single-loop.php
/td-standard-pack/Newspaper/header.php
TD-COMPOSER plugin
/legacy/common/wp_booster/wp_booster/td_module_single_base.php
/legacy/Newspaper/includes/modules/td_module_slide.php
Why are two files not available in the standard pack?
These files are not working in my child theme. I tried:
/child-theme-folder/single-loop.php
/child-theme-folder/header.php
/child-theme-folder/header/header-menu.php
/child-theme-folder/header/header-style-1.php
/child-theme-folder/parts/page-author-box.php
/child-theme-folder/includes/modules/td_module_4.php
/child-theme-folder/includes/modules/td_module_slide.php
/child-theme-folder/includes/wp_booster/td_module_single_base.php
It simply uses the files in the plugin folders.
What am I missing?
Thanks, Mike
Hello. I am using Newspaper version 10, with the Fast News Demo settings.
I have a contributors page on my site, created with the WP Bakery Authors Box element. Normally, when clicking on an author, the link connects to a page with the author’s Biographical Info from WordPress at the top, followed by their posts.
I recently installed BuddyPress along with the Youzer Plugin on my site. Now, when clicking on an author, the link connects to The author’s Youzer Profile. This works fine. I have the author’s latest posts configured to display on the Youzer profile.
I contacted Youzer support to ask if there was also a way to include the author’s Biographical Info on the Youzer Profile, without the author needing to enter the info in a separate Youzer widget in order to display author info on the Youzer Profile.
Youzer offered to create a custom widget to display the biographical Info, but, after examining my site, said that the biographical info on the Author’s page came from a Newspaper Theme widget, and not WordPress. They asked me to contact TagDiv support and ask for shortcode to display the Biographical information, and they would create a Youzer custom widget to display it on the Youzer profile. So, here, I am asking if there is shortcode available to display the author’s biographical information that I can pass on to Youzer.
Thank you!
David
Hi,
Using the authors box you’ll get all the users from your website -> https://i.imgur.com/kZG3b2N.png in order to set some pictures to authors/users you need to set an image on user avatar, this can be done using our documentation from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-set-the-avatar/ -> https://i.imgur.com/b6oAsGk.png -> https://i.imgur.com/kt94WBR.png -> https://i.imgur.com/3hklt50.png
Thank you!
I want to put a profile picture in the author’s box. Not able to find any option Please tell how to do that.
Hi, I’d like to remove the author in both of these places: https://i.imgur.com/06pmgBC.png (the entire box below, and the author name and picture up top)
As well as the date here: https://i.imgur.com/SWSb69c.png
Basically I do not want an author or date on any of the posts.
I’ve tried searching before I posted this but I have not found anything.
Here are my current settings:
Post Settings – https://i.imgur.com/xzNAOZT.png
Block Settings – https://i.imgur.com/sfrEdI4.png
Please help!
Thank you,
And how could I add a profile picture to the author box that comes with the theme by default?
Hi,
I have installed a plugin to improve the Author Box, since I do not want to leave the inclusion of your photograph in the users’ hands, and the theme does not allow me to include them except through Gravatar.
1.- Are there possibilities to do it through the theme without plugins and that I don’t know with Gravatar?
2.- If I use a plugin for this I have a problem, and that is that in the post, even if they change the template of the page that comes by default, apart from showing me the box author, it includes me again at the bottom of the page , (Attached screenshot). It happens to us with all the templates downloaded from “Cloud Templates”, as with the one included by default, with the different plugins installed.

Thank you,
Hi,
Please notice that there is no php file only for the author-box amp, the changes that you’ll make will by display on the desktop/mobile version too.
You can edit it in wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/common/wp_booster/td_module_single_base.php -> https://i.imgur.com/OwNK477.png
Hope this will help you!
Thank you!
Hi chicky365,
From what I can see you do not set the space how Vlad S suggest -> https://i.imgur.com/t4btb9M.png, you’ll need to edit that single post template from tagdiv Cloud Library using the tagDiv Composer, like this -> https://i.imgur.com/UfGzZUU.jpg, click on single post author element and set in space box for example 5 -> https://i.imgur.com/3zeXf3Z.png after that save the changes and clear all cache the results should be like this -> https://i.imgur.com/Ij5y5nx.png
Hope this will help you!
Thank you!
