Search Results for 'author box'

Hi Bogdan,

By adding the code for displaying author bio in the Authors Box block I guess this will also show up in the sidebar instances of this block and this will make it look too busy.

I’m also looking to add a list of authors, their bio, avatar, number of posts, etc into an “About us” page. I saw in a post almost a year ago (https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/authors-box-doesnt-show-bio/) that this was part of your future release plans but I’m not sure if you’ve managed to do it. Any advice?

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply Andrei.

It did not work, I’m not sure why. Looking at the new Comments.php file, it shows the changes made. But it still redirects the user to http://www.aculco.co.uk/wp-admin.

Any Help?

Also, My website is in Spanish, but certain bits are still in English.

Here are the areas that are still in English:

1. The Top Header date
2. The date that appears next to author on articles.
3. The commentary area: Everything is in Spanish except “You must be logged in to post a comment.”
4. If I was to create a drop down box on the widget area (for example archives), It states “Select a month” in English.

How do I change these areas?

Thanks!

Hi

The avatar image works fine on post’s author box: http://screencast.com/t/z3SBxTwwC or in authors block: http://screencast.com/t/NuqpJJkr If does it should work and on module 9 because the implementation it’s similar.
If you still can’t manage to solve this issue please address us via email at contact@tagdiv.com including a link to this conversation and also give us wp-access so we can have a closer look at this and we will get back to your as soon as possible.

Thanks!

Thank you for reply. Sorry but these couldn’t be answer for my question.

1. I don’t want to use a plugin. Only I want to know what the optimum image size for all thumb’s containers. 800*600 is suitable for optimal image quality on theme ?

2. Yes, Ok but I want to obtain a megamenu with sub-category. That’s why I turned the categories into sub-categories. But it previews in post together parent category.

3. Thanks. It’s done.

4. No, I don’t want to disable author box. I just want not to preview a author box depending on specific author.

Hi, I’m still trying to add the get_author_box to work on Newsmag template, but maybe I’m missing something. Can anyone help? @partnowjess @mbasche?

Thanks!

Hi
a great resource to learn WordPress basic functions is the “codex” (docs” on the WordPress.org website.

Basically when you post as yourself, you are the author.

However, you need to setup a “user” for each author on your site under the “users” section of the main WP admin panel.

Then when you create a post, you can choose that user/author from the authors selector on the post page (where you create the article/post).

See the codex on how to use the “post” panel in WP:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_Posts

Setting authors is part of WP, and not the theme.

Hope that helped! 🙂

If you’re allowing “guest posts” — there are various plugins which allow this. This allows an “author” to be assigned without that person having an “account.” But have not used any of those to recommend. This would likely need customization for how to manage the author box bottom of each post.

Hi

Unfortunately the theme doesn’t have a template to create a contributors page, sorry. However you can use the authors box block to display only the contributors on a specific page by using the id filter: http://screencast.com/t/QBZ9jqpFPi4J
To get the user id please follow this link: http://screencast.com/t/83G22khuD So you can add an authors box on a page, select only contributors ids in indicated field and you will have only the contributors displayed on that page.

Hope this help.
Thanks!

Hi Andrei,

Thank you! Your solution was much simpler and more elegant than my clumsy attempt. 🙂 However, I did have to remember to take the extra step of going back in to the Theme Panel again and ticking the ‘Show Author Box’ option there in order for this to work. I had turned that off, before. Now, it seems to be properly showing the author box on my ‘blog’ categories posts only.

Thanks again for your help, and for your quick response. I hope that there will be some way that Newsmag theme can one day soon enable us to do this from the theme options panel. Until then, thank you for the custom code I needed to do this.

Have a nice day!

Hi
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ve added on our list and we will consider it for future updates. However we must carefully select what features we will include as we have over 250 features requests and the user always must get what is best from us. If more people will request this we will implement it.
You can achieve that by modifying the code, but with a different condition than the one you tried it. The is_category() function check if a category page is displayed not if a post belong to a specific category. To do that you need to use in_category().
So to display the author box only in some specific categories add this condition in td_module_single_base.php like here: http://screencast.com/t/Umqmoxdb8OIt

if (!in_category(array('50','51','56'))){
return;
}

This condition check if the post belongs to one of the specified categories and if the result is true will display the author box, otherwise returns.
Note that if post is included in more categories you need to add all categories ids on the list, otherwise the author box won’t be displayed or you can exclude it from the categories in which you don’t want to display the author box.

Hope this help.
Thanks!

Just tried this and doesn’t work:
if (empty($hideAuthor) || td_util::get_option('tds_show_author_box') == 'hide' && is_category( array( 65, 84 )))

$buffy .= '<div class="author-box-wrap">';
$buffy .= '' ;
$buffy .= get_avatar(get_the_author_meta('email', $author_id), '96');
$buffy .= '';…. etc.

Oops, I looked at this again and realized I am trying to change the wrong condition. I’ve asked the theme to hide the author box in the theme panel, but I’m adding my instruction to the code with the author box NOT hidden line. So, I added
if (td_util::get_option('tds_show_author_box') == 'hide' && is_category( array( 65, 84 )))

{
to line 706, so it looks like this:
if (empty($hideAuthor))
if (td_util::get_option('tds_show_author_box') == 'hide' && is_category( array( 65, 84 )))

{
and it still doesn’t work. * bangs head on desk *
I am not a PHP coder by any stretch, so if someone with more knowledge could point me in the right direction, I’d be grateful. I feel like I have the right idea but the execution is wrong.
