Hello!
I would like to modify the author box in the sidebar. Since I have several authors on my website, I would like for each of them to show the picture and the name of the category each of them contributes to. I do not want to name of the authors to appear nor the counters of posts and comments. I suppose I have to modify the file: td_authors.php. Is it right? Which part of the code should I modify for this? Can I create a child for the theme, in order not to mess up with the code?
Thank you for you help!

So, there is missing only the second author box under the article. Any ideas?
I have been able to add the author’s posts to the authors new custom page. I just have 2, hopefully small issues, that I would love to solve.
Gap Element Spacing: As a reference, here are the elements on the page with VC:

Here is a screen grab of the page, how can I decrease the Gap/spacing between the 3 elements? link below

User Setting: To select the author’s posts in Block 6 in VC, using the Author’s filter, I only had access to “Lenny da Vinci’s” ID after changing his role from Author to Administrator: links below
Before

Change to

After

If we could find solutions to both of these issues that would be great.
Thank you again for all your help. I really appreciate it!

https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/authors-box-doesnt-show-bio/
Hope this help!
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
You can change it via CSS
1.
.post .td-sub-title {
font-family: your font;
}2.
.author-box-wrap .author {
font-family: your font;
}3.
.widget_recent_entries a {
font-family: your font;
}Thanks!
Finally now it seems to be ok 🙂
I have few more questions about fonts.
1. How can I define the font of subtitle?
2. How can I define the font of author box content?
3. How can I define the font of Recents posts widget?
All these are PT Sand and I would like to change them to Open Sans or Roboto.
Thanks in advanvce.
Hi,
1. You can choose from user editor what name should appear: http://screencast.com/t/OeZ5RrQe9
About an author box at the top of the article can be done by customizing that section via code.
2. I will add LinkedIn share on our todo list for the following updates. Also the theme share can be disabled via Theme panel and you cna use a plugin that contain multiple share networks, like Shareaholic, or Addthis plugin.
3. Make sure you add a link with http://.... this is a corect link not only a www.
4. Yes, you can change the color via CSS, add this CSS in Theme panel -> Custom CSS and change with other color. About an option in Theme panel, we will think about that, thanks for the suggestion.
.td-sbig-title-wrap .td-sbig-title {
background-color: rgba(77, 178, 236, 0.7);
} 5. 🙂 Of course the login modal have a Register form to, on our demo is disabled to prevent user register. See here: http://screencast.com/t/gMqrvDupRdVV
Thanks for all the suggestion!
Have a nice day!
Hello,
First of all I’d like to say a big thank you for such a great WordPress Theme. I was looking for a very long time for news/magazine style WP theme fully compapitable with buddypress. So that’s how I came accross to choose this theme.
For sure there are also some issues, which I’m facing as well, so I hope you’ll be able to help me to solve it.
So let’s get started.
1. Ability to move Author Box to the top of the page.
Well, in my opininion for users it is much more important to see post authors at the top of the article nor at the bottom, when there is a multi-author website. So don’t you think that it would be very cool if we would be able to move author box to the top of the page?
Also some more issues:
– Now it shows author’s username in author box. Would it be possible somehow to change it automatically to author’s First and Last Name?
– Also is it possible to do drop-down author box similar to starbox does have?
2. Add LinkedIn share button together with other social sharing buttons
Now all articles can have Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Pinterest share buttons. But I think LinkedIn is also worth of being together with these buttons as it usually sends quite a lot of social visitors.
Also maybe it would be worth to consider to add social counters similar to Mashable does have?
3. Source URL and VIA url options doesn’t work properly
This theme does have a very cool option which let’s to mention who wrote the article and put a nice looking source.
But the problem is if let’s say you’ll put http://www.google.com/analytics in “Source URL” and http://www.google.com in “VIA URL”, then the system generates broken links and it redirects to 404 error pages.
In this case “Source URL” redirects to http://www.mywebsite.com/my-post-url/www.google.com/analytics and “Via URL” redirects to http://www.mywebsite.com/my-post-url?www.google.com, when it should redirect to http://www.google.com/analytics and http://www.google.com.
4. Ability to change text colors in main slides
Now if you change the color of the whole site, then the color in big slide will change as well.
The main problem is if I change website color, then sometimes the collor of title and collow of the box, which wraps the title, doesn’t look very attractive. So, it would be great if we could change class=”td-sbig-title-wrap” and class=”td-sbig-title” (the same is valid for small slides as well) via admin panel.
In this case I can change slide colors myself via css. But I think for many user it would be very useful if the would have a chance to change those colors themselves via admin panel.
5. Consider about “register” option in Login form at the top menu
There is a very cool option that we’re able to insert login form at the top menu, but I think it would be fair enough, that if users can login, first of all they should get an option to register on the site? 🙂
I think in that form should be additional “Register” form or at least something similar to “Not registered yet?”.
I want to thank you in advance in taking your time to read my problems and recommendations.
I do really believe that all those options would be very useful for other users as well, so maybe it is worth to consider to implement them in the next theme updates.
If not, I would really apreciate your recommendations on how I would be able to fix all those problems myself.
Thanks a lot and waiting for your honest answer 🙂
Thanks a lot.
Hi,
Replace this line http://screencast.com/t/A4hd7Y2h7K with this code:
<?php
if (
$td_mod_single->post->post_author != 1 and
$td_mod_single->post->post_author != 2 and
$td_mod_single->post->post_author != 4 and
$td_mod_single->post->post_author != 7
) {
echo $td_mod_single->get_author_box();
}
?>That code will hide the author with ID 1, 2, 4 and 7
Marius can you please tell me what exactly to write?
I tried few things, but nothing worked.

Hi,
Use the if condition here from V3 http://screencast.com/t/ifEA6PxJ
Thanks!
Wish I could say for sure what plugin it was, but I ran into the same problem on a demo site I run. The demo runs on the same server as the live site for testing purposes and had all the same plugins activated as my live site, yet the Twitter follower count was zero while the icon and Follow button in the social counter widget went to the correct Twitter profile.
So, I deleted and reinstalled the social counter plugin – updated from 1.0 to 1.3 and no change on the erroneous count.
I then took a guess and decided to delete to a BUNCH of useless old plugins I have tested in the last six months. None were active but something made a difference. So, for lack of a better option, here’s the list of inactive plugins that I deleted…

WP Super Cache by Donncha O Caoimh (will also delete its data)
Something worked. I would guess maybe the cache plugin??? But I have no real clue. Keep in mind some of these plugins are more than 2 years old since last used so most won’t be helpful in figuring out what plugin is causing the conflict.
I’m running 3.7 with VC and WP 3.9 on this site. Never had a problem before I spotted it tonight.
I can no longer expand the tabs on the customizer to make changes like to turn off the author box. I can send credentials if necessary.
Hi,
Yes, replace this code: http://screencast.com/t/agBB1xPA with this:
<?php if ($post->post_author != '1') {
echo $td_mod_single->get_author_box();
} ?>1 is the author ID
Thanks!
Add this code: <span>Fallow Shah</span> like here: http://screencast.com/t/d8gnnrfTr
this is for the author box from the post.
If you want that on box from authors page, add it here to: http://screencast.com/t/QYYgfXqNks
Thanks!
Hi guys,
I love the author box, but I’d like to use it only on posts that have a REAL author, not admin-type announcements or re-written press releases … is it possible to hide the author box for certain authors?
Thanks,
Serg
