Hi
Replied you here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/authors-boxwidgets-how-to-limit-the-authors-list/#post-122243
Thanks!
Sorry for my question in Newsmag forum: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/authors-boxwidgets-how-to-limit-the-authors-list/
I ask the question here.
Hi @Andrei L.
Note that by editing the indicated file author box will display only three authors on entire site.
1. How to change the code if I want to display ten (Top-10) authors (authors by post count)?
2. This file td_block_authors.php can i use in Child Theme?
Sorry for my poor English.
Thanks!

For background in custom CSS you can use
.author-box-wrap{
background-color:#fbf17f;
}
We would like the Author Card/Box Border to be more visible (thicker line)and for the background to be slightly darker to make this all more visible. How can we accomplish this?
Hello,
Unfortunately this option is not available in the theme setting. It can only be made custom. The easiest way is to edit a post template file and remove the author box for it so any post that is set to that particular style will not get the author box. You can edit the post template files here: http://screencast.com/t/Ug4x0iXvNiA
There is another way to do it without sacrificing one post template but that will involve adding conditions to the code and specifying each post Id you want the code to affect. That is a more complicated way of doing it.
Thank you!
Hi
Unfortunately the theme does not have an option to remove the author from specific posts. However this can be achieved by editing the code and adding a proper condition. You can target posts by their’s ids or category. For example you can include all posts where you want to hide the author name in hide-author category then add this condition in td_module_single_base.php:
– to remove author name: http://screencast.com/t/JP8bJXfFH
– to remove author box: http://screencast.com/t/Il8bBcCrV7
The theme displays post author following the default implementation from wordpress and there is no option to add a co-author or an editor to a post. A post can have a single author by default. To change that you’ll need a plugin with a specific functionality or a piece or a piece of code which will change the default implementation.
I can’t provide a solution for this at the moment as it is a very complex task which require lot of time and many customiations in order to be achieved. If you really need this and you’re not aware of the steps you need to take in this regard please consider hiring a developer or a freelancer to do this for you.
The theme does not have any features which refers to statistics. However you can use a plugin with a similar functionality to achieve that. Here I found some informations which may help you in this regard: https://allbloggingtips.com/10-best-statistics-plugin-for-wordpress/ – https://jetpack.com/support/wordpress-com-stats/
Hope this helps.
Thanks!
I have to deactivate the author box, but only for some articles (not all).
Hi,
The user role filtering is not working properly in this VC Block. I am in need of 3 different boxes, showing 3 different user roles. But they just show all authors in all 3 boxes. How can i fix this so that i have 1 box for editors, one for contributors and one for admins?
Either way, there’s a “problem here:
if td-login-wrap is not supposed to affect colours, it should be taken out (since it’s not doing anything)
or
if the colours are meant to be adjusted, the css overrides for td-login-wrap should be updated to include the new prefix: eg; “mfp-content .td-login-wrap {”
(Specific Example: This is an override the appears in the css relevant to the login modal box – it includes an override for “.td-login-wrap” {V2 style login}, but not “.mfp-content .td-login-wrap” {V3 style login} – the login css should be either removed or updated from this override 🙂 :
.td-header-border::before, .td-trending-now-title, .td_block_mega_menu .td_mega_menu_sub_cats .cur-sub-cat, .td-post-category:hover, .td-header-style-2 .td-header-sp-logo, .td-next-prev-wrap a:hover i, .page-nav .current, .widget_calendar tfoot a:hover, .td-footer-container .widget_search .wpb_button:hover, .td-scroll-up-visible, .dropcap, .td-category a, input[type=”submit”]:hover, .td-post-small-box a:hover, .td-404-sub-sub-title a:hover, .td-rating-bar-wrap div, .td_top_authors .td-active .td-author-post-count, .td_top_authors .td-active .td-author-comments-count, .td_smart_list_3 .td-sml3-top-controls i:hover, .td_smart_list_3 .td-sml3-bottom-controls i:hover, .td_wrapper_video_playlist .td_video_controls_playlist_wrapper, .td-read-more a:hover, .td-login-wrap .btn, .td_display_err, .td-header-style-6 .td-top-menu-full, #bbpress-forums button:hover, #bbpress-forums .bbp-pagination .current, .bbp_widget_login .button:hover, .header-search-wrap .td-drop-down-search .btn:hover, .td-post-text-content .more-link-wrap:hover a, #buddypress div.item-list-tabs ul li > a span, #buddypress div.item-list-tabs ul li > a:hover span, #buddypress input[type=”submit”]:hover, #buddypress a.button:hover span, #buddypress div.item-list-tabs ul li.selected a span, #buddypress div.item-list-tabs ul li.current a span, #buddypress input[type=”submit”]:focus, .td-grid-style-3 .td-big-grid-post .td-module-thumb a:last-child::before, .td-grid-style-4 .td-big-grid-post .td-module-thumb a:last-child::before, .td-grid-style-5 .td-big-grid-post .td-module-thumb::after, .td_category_template_2 .td-category-siblings .td-category a:hover, .td-weather-week::before, .td-weather-information::before
I can confirm that there are no specific overrides for the mfp-content class…
I can see the override below, but it doesn’t target the new login modal in fullscreen….
.td-header-border::before, .td-trending-now-title, .td_block_mega_menu .td_mega_menu_sub_cats .cur-sub-cat, .td-post-category:hover, .td-header-style-2 .td-header-sp-logo, .td-next-prev-wrap a:hover i, .page-nav .current, .widget_calendar tfoot a:hover, .td-footer-container .widget_search .wpb_button:hover, .td-scroll-up-visible, .dropcap, .td-category a, input[type=”submit”]:hover, .td-post-small-box a:hover, .td-404-sub-sub-title a:hover, .td-rating-bar-wrap div, .td_top_authors .td-active .td-author-post-count, .td_top_authors .td-active .td-author-comments-count, .td_smart_list_3 .td-sml3-top-controls i:hover, .td_smart_list_3 .td-sml3-bottom-controls i:hover, .td_wrapper_video_playlist .td_video_controls_playlist_wrapper, .td-read-more a:hover, .td-login-wrap .btn, .td_display_err, .td-header-style-6 .td-top-menu-full, #bbpress-forums button:hover, #bbpress-forums .bbp-pagination .current, .bbp_widget_login .button:hover, .header-search-wrap .td-drop-down-search .btn:hover, .td-post-text-content .more-link-wrap:hover a, #buddypress div.item-list-tabs ul li > a span, #buddypress div.item-list-tabs ul li > a:hover span, #buddypress input[type=”submit”]:hover, #buddypress a.button:hover span, #buddypress div.item-list-tabs ul li.selected a span, #buddypress div.item-list-tabs ul li.current a span, #buddypress input[type=”submit”]:focus, .td-grid-style-3 .td-big-grid-post .td-module-thumb a:last-child::before, .td-grid-style-4 .td-big-grid-post .td-module-thumb a:last-child::before, .td-grid-style-5 .td-big-grid-post .td-module-thumb::after, .td_category_template_2 .td-category-siblings .td-category a:hover, .td-weather-week::before, .td-weather-information::before
Hello yachtsailingcharter,
Please notice that you can display all the users (do not exist any limits in code) from your website in your Author Box if you do not set any restriction from block settings, from here -> http://screencast.com/t/CLk46NXE3Ux
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi I was able to add the shortcode to the module 17 and the ad show up, unfortunately it show right after every post. see screeshot http://prntscr.com/bkpwpi
This is how my code look in module17

ob_start();
?>
<div class="<?php echo $this->get_module_classes();?>">
<div class="meta-info-container">
<?php echo $this->get_title();?>
<div class="td-module-image">
<?php echo $this->get_image('td_696x385');?>
<div class="td-module-meta-holder">
<div class="td-left-meta">
<?php echo $this->get_author();?>
<?php echo $this->get_date();?>
</div>
<?php echo $this->get_comments();?>
</div>
<div class="td-category-corner">
<?php if (td_util::get_option('tds_category_module_17') == 'yes') { echo $this->get_category(); }?>
</div>
</div>
<div class="td-excerpt">
<?php echo $this->get_excerpt();?>

This is the last step before I can launch the site.
Please guide me to the right direction?
Thank you for your support.
Hi,
You can use the Author Box block/widget to display all your registered users or some of them using the filter options – http://screencast.com/t/y8DTfnzm – http://screencast.com/t/FAWKBeLCY
Thanks!
Hi
I would like to know what to do with the author box widget? What is this widget for?
Thank you
Hi,
Unfortunately the author box element does not use the description only when you click on the author will the theme display the information.
As for the alphabetical order, you can filter the authors by ID in the block settings. You can use the exclude and include sections from here: http://screencast.com/t/i5BsAswEES You can use 2 author boxes and filter one part of your authors in the first and the second part in the other one. You will need the author id’s for this. You can get the id’s like so: http://screencast.com/t/kmUugYM6S so for example if you have 20 authors you would add the first 10 id;s in the first auhor box and the other 10 in the second box.
Thank you!

Hey Andrei,
I should have probably mentioned that our “Author” role doesn’t have the publish_posts capability (for security reasons), something which I’ve now discovered is needed in order for the Post Settings meta box to appear after a bit of testing.
Is there a way for me to edit the code to allow any user with the “upload_files” capability to see the Post Settings box?
Thanks!
Hi,
For the author page you need to edit this code:
http://screencast.com/t/m9gjOlG5
And then use this css:
.author-box-wrap .avatar{
width:initial;!important
}
.td_top_authors img{
max-width:initial!important;
}
.author-box-wrap .desc{
margin-left: 215px!important;
}
Thank you!
Hello,
with our update to WP 4.5.2 all images are no longer showing up on our blog. There’s just white space but with the links still working. Also, the author box below the post shows only on Chrome but not with Firefox or with IE.
Is there any fix for these problems?
hi again
i try to disable all plugins and clear cache but still author box not working
Thanks
Hi;
i’m eser. author box not working in single post it’s already enable.

Hello!
Since update 3.0, the Post Settings meta box, as well as other theme specific meta boxes, have been missing from within the Post Editor for user roles with less permissions than Editors/Admin.
Is this a bug or a specific change? Is there any way I can allow Authors to see the Post Settings box again without having to give them more permissions?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
The author box in the sidebar on our demo is a simple text widget with an image and description under it. It is not an author box widget. You can create it with a simple textbox and an image.
Thank you!
Hi,
If you want to adapt the code, you have to change the margin based on the viewport. You must check the other 3 versions of the site to see if the thumb positions properly. Those are tablet landscape, tablet portrait and mobile. You can copy the code above in the specific section of the theme panel and adjust the value in the code: http://screencast.com/t/HqL9QkQlkqd
1)You can use the same mothod and change the size from the code here: http://screencast.com/t/ElqNhEf7zFG
And then use thios css:
.td_top_authors img{
max-width:initial!important;
}
.td_top_authors .item-details {
margin-left: 215px!important;
height: 200px!important;
}
2)The social icons use a font icon so increasing the font, weil make them increase in size:
.author-box-wrap .td-author-social .td-icon-font{
font-size:32px!important
}
3)You can use this css: .entry-crumbs, .entry-crumb{
color:red!important
}
4) The crumbs for the author box were not added as links. you can also see this on our demo:http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/author/marius2/
The breadcrumbs for pages, categories or tags are clickable.
5) The author page as the search or category pages, are affected by this option of WP: http://screencast.com/t/10Jifw9KWX6t
Thank you!
Hi,
At the end of the posts, is there a way to show only “related articles” and hide completely “More from the author”? I searched everywhere in the theme panel, but it seems there’s an option to hide both or none.
Since there is only one author, both boxes have exactly the same posts, by the same order. And that looks really bad. I searched everywhere and I don’t find options to hide it or even to have different order of posts in both boxes.
Thank you,
Ricardo
