thanks
Hi,
I want to add some extra text along with social icons on author box. Please guide how to do that.

hi,
the authors are registered in wordpress not in our theme.
however how stupid this may sound you need to install a plugin too add a pictures for authors : https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-user-avatar/ (how stupid is this?)
for your second question, modify the code :
$args = array('exclude' => array(1, 2, 3));
$td_return_obj_authors = get_users($args);
like here :http://screencast.com/t/l0BNXm3XvBp
Thanks for you message.

Hi guys,
i’m using one of my six licences of your newspaper theme in this website – http://www.contioutra.com/
In the bottom of the site you can see the “Colunistas” zone. That’s where i put the authors existing in the site. Two questions about that:
– How can i set photos in each author?
– How can i exclude one of the authors from that author widget? I do see that there is an exclude option for that widget, but i don’t know the sintax to use there.
Best Regards
Sérgio Sousa

Hi,
The code is not working yet. Between, can I have the CSS codes for footer & comments as well?
Please see the image below:
Author Name, Author Description, Next, Previous, Next Title, Previous Title
Comment Box: Commentator Name, Commentator Email, Commentator Website, Comment Content
Footer Left (copyrights) & right:
Thanks.

Hi,
The author box, next article & previous article navigation cannot have the font type set.
Please help. Thanks.
Yes. The point was that WORDPRESS — which is the platform you are using — doesn’t support search by author name. Known bug or “feature.” Nothing to do with the theme(s). The author box is NOT part of the “post” — the search box typically only searches the POST meta, not external elements. The author box is not part of the post, nor is the author name. SO, the only thing WP returns in search result is what is in the title, POST or excerpt boxes, and likely tags and categories.
It’s one of those dumb things I’ve been waiting since 2006 for WP to address. Unfortunately we all must remember that WP is first and foremost a BLOG platform, with the presumption that the “author” is always the BLOG owner.
In fact, in the early days we actually created categories for authors vs using /author/.
SO, we’d have
/columns/janesmith/
/columns/jacksmith/
But then when Google got nutty about duplicate content, made sense just to switch to normal author index method – but then it didn’t help with search.
There ARE some multi-site plugins for better search, such as this one you might also try:

Dear Chris
Thank you for your help.
Pardon me if I did not get your point. When I visit my site, I type the name author in the search box. The result is none. So I thought it can indexed the author name in the author box.
I will try your solution to put the author name in the posts.
Thank you, Chris.
Hi Radu
The theme is fantastic and no matter what I will use and work around it. 😉
I discovered that turning on the ‘show author box’ solved the ‘hatom-feed hatom-entry Error’ This is now fine. I can now see the rating stars in Google but my image wont show because of this:
Error: No rich snippet will be generated for this data, because it appears to include multiple reviews of an item, but no aggregate review information
Replies to this in the WordPress forum: There’s something wrong with the rating block/plugin average rating configuration.
Could you possible take a look at my site. It could be like my hatom-feed where simply I haven’t enabled something. If we can’t get this working I’ll just turn all the posts into ratings from stars. It is a fantastic theme and I appreciate your support
Hi,
Is like that because you don’t have a sufficient size image. In post if you want you can hide that gray box color adding this CSS in theme panel -> Custom CSS
.post .thumb-wrap {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}Also some thumbnails like this one: http://screencast.com/t/laS4P9vYh is not cropped. To test if the cropping works make a new post and add a large featured image and see if the thumbnails is cropped: http://screencast.com/t/efFT0u7z0o and see if the image is full or cropped.
If not could be from your missing GD library on your server or UPLOADS directory to have the right permissions.
Also a solution to scale up the thumbnails that you can try: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/unable-to-generate-larger-images-in-3-6/#post-10304
1. You can use unlimited sliders on a page.
2. To show the author to replace with this code
array_merge( get_users('role=author'), get_users('role=administrator') ); that http://screencast.com/t/Nmpl220gtFeu
Thanks for the message!
Hmmm…. maybe
1) double check that the allow coments box on the POST itself is still checked (I know..dumb… but…)
2) under WP admin > settings > discussion – try toggling those settings on/off, such as the nested comments thing — I’ve seen that conflict with nested theme functions where something is trying to nest inside a nest … or the “number of levels” kind of thing.
3) try resaving permalinks (I know again, it’s worked before…)
4) try changing to a different author, like an author where comments are working.
That’s it for my nutty ideas 🙂
Oh yeah. You can style just about everything. We started using it long time ago for a custom theme we did, and also because most theme devs never included an author bio box, so this was of course why the fellow built the plugin. He’s updated it over the years with lots of features for styling and since he uses custom classes, in theory the custom css box in Newspaper theme panel “should” also be able to change anything else. This was important back in the day when every damn sidebar thing was done with an H3 tag. Ugh.
Is it possible to create a widget to show in the sidebar which just shows the current post author box? This would be a great feature!
+1
Thanks for solutions, but I will also request for Theme Option panel similar to “show author box” ie “Show Author In Post Head Meta”
Hi there,
I have disabled author box in posts so that less space between article and comments (people like to comment these dasys), however I would like to show author of post in simple fashion.
If this is not already possible, I would like to suggest update in next version:
- Show author name/avatar/link/ in post header next to date under title
- Show author avatar and/or name in content blocks and/or categories under post title (with option to turn off in admin)
Thanks for considering!
If you’re asking about all the boxes on the WP admin > users > user information page; those are included by WordPress, not the theme. If you’re asking about limiting the number of social media icons in the author box and the author page box, you can simply remove the items you don’t want by making the boxes plank on the WP admin > users > user page for that person(s).
Not sure if that helps or not. I was here, thought I’d share.
Hi,
Is still on track. Until that you can change like here:
Add this code in td_authors.php here: http://screencast.com/t/XfDOSGxu
$buffy .= '<div class="vcard author"><span class="fn">';
$buffy .= td_util::excerpt(get_the_author_meta('description', $td_author->ID), 200);
$buffy .= '</span></div>';
$buffy .= '<div class="td-author-social">';
foreach (td_social_icons::$td_social_icons_array as $td_social_id => $td_social_name) {
//echo get_the_author_meta($td_social_id) . '<br>';
$authorMeta = get_the_author_meta($td_social_id);
if (!empty($authorMeta)) {
//the theme can use the twitter id instead of the full url. This avoids problems with yoast plugin
if ($td_social_id == 'twitter') {
if(filter_var($authorMeta, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)){
} else {
$authorMeta = str_replace('@', '', $authorMeta);
$authorMeta = 'http://twitter.com/' . $authorMeta;
}
}
$buffy .= td_social_icons::get_icon($authorMeta, $td_social_id, 4, 16);
}
}
$buffy .= '</div>';Then add this CSS in Theme panel -> Custom CSS
.td_top_authors img {
height: 100px !important;
max-width: 100px !important;
width: 100px !important;
}
.td_top_authors .item-details {
margin-left: 122px !important;
}
.td_top_authors .item-details {
height: auto !important;
}
div.vcard .fn {
color: #444444 !important;
}
.td_top_authors .td_mod_wrap {
min-height: 100px;
}
.td_top_authors .author .fn {
font-family: 'PT Sans',sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-style: normal;
line-height: 21px;
margin: 5px 10px 10px 0px;
padding: 0px;
display: inline-block;
}
.td_top_authors .item-details .td-social-icon-wrap,
.td_top_authors .item-details .td-social-icon-wrap span {
padding: 0px;
}
.td_top_authors .item-details .td-social-icon-wrap {
margin: 0px;
}Thanks!
This is a feature I have been looking for diligently. Are you still on track for the update this week?
Thanks for all your help!
Hi,
We will fix to work that file with Child theme in the next update.
Make the same for authors.
Create a custom field for author like you have created for ad
And use the code like http://screencast.com/t/G79rInR3hFv
if (!get_field('hide_author')) {
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_author_box();?>
}Thanks!
Hi,
You need to add the code like here for the header ad: http://screencast.com/t/xFyqF7MGDa
if (!get_field('hide_ad')) {
echo td_global_blocks::get_instance('td_ad_box')->render(array('spot_id' => 'header'));
}Thanks!
Hi,
1. You have small images or the images are not resized? If you have already content you need to regenerate the thumbnails following those steps: https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/
2. The theme doesn’t have a dedicated authors page, only if you make one manually using our author widget, and with a little customization you can add the description and more information about each author, take a look here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/author-box-layout/#post-7683
Thanks for the message!
Dear Sir
I love your theme. Since I set your theme, I have found that your theme is powerfull and have a lot features. However, I would like to ask about these:
1. How to make an auto resize for image in feature image and author box? Our image website not uniform in size.
2. How to make page that contain only listing author/contributor list? But the author page display profile from author. I had try to make page with visual composer then we use author page widget. The result is not displayed the profil from each author only displayed number of posts and contact info. And also, how to set the list, I mean, if I have 100 contributor, how to make author list that break into several pages.
Sorry for my English. I hope you can understand it.
Hi,
You can simple make this using this plugin: Advanced Custom Fields install it and create a custom field like here: http://screencast.com/t/aCU7n5ns
Then add this code and !get_field('hide_ad') like here: http://screencast.com/t/5FOgXORGMMpand
Done: http://screencast.com/t/6Zd6NCKRKz
You can make similar for the author box to.
Thanks!
