Hi Radu,
I will take a look and test the provided code! Thanks!
Could you please take a look at this thread? Both my problem and the problem of the person who started that thread is still not resolved!
Hello,
it should be possible sure.
you can try adding this for example: http://screencast.com/t/yDjWkruxtZMo
the custom post field is td_show_author and when you set it to show it will show the author box.
if (get_post_meta($this->post->ID, 'td_show_author') == 'show') {
$buffy .= $this->get_author_box();
}
Is it possible to create a custom function to show or hide author info per page? Maybe by adding post meta in the custom field of a post? I managed to do this for my ads, so i wonder if this is possible with an existing function like the author box.
Hello,
I want to move the comment part to the footer, i didn’t found how to do that.
Like here :
$buffy .= ‘<footer class=”clearfix”>’;
$buffy .= apply_filters(‘td_post_after_source_via’, ”);
$buffy .= $this->get_social_sharing();
/*COMMENT HERE … comment_template() …*/
$buffy .= $this->get_post_next_prev_pagination();
$buffy .= $this->get_review();
$buffy .= apply_filters(‘td_post_after_review’, ”);
$buffy .= $this->get_the_tags();
$buffy .= apply_filters(‘td_post_after_tags’, ”);
$buffy .= $this->get_source_and_via();
$buffy .= apply_filters(‘td_post_after_socials’, ”);
$buffy .= $this->get_next_prev_posts();
$buffy .= apply_filters(‘td_post_after_next_prev’, ”);
$buffy .= $this->get_author_box();
$buffy .= apply_filters(‘td_post_after_author_box’, ”);
$buffy .= ‘</footer>’;
Thanks
When you add a post, a box comes up with the author and profile picture. Where can i add a picture, so it isn’t blank? – Tried with a plugin, didn’t help.
Hello,
We fixed the author widget on our demo, now you can include or exclude authors for that widget.
We don’t have a short-code for author boxes only if you make something similar with pagebuilder using photo on left on a column and name and description in right
Thanks!
Hello,
Here you have to add the code http://screencast.com/t/yzMcmeUYo0 in td_module_blog.php file
Thanks @octavian for your help!
The best way that I know how to do that would be to create a shortcode based on the function “get_author_box” found on line 541 of this file \includes\app\modules\module_modifier\td_module_blog.php
But I’m qutie a n00bie when it comes to this stuff so I’m sure there’s a better way that the theme developers know.
Oh then that file can be found in \includes\app\modules\module_modifier\td_module_blog.php
I think you want line 541. That’s where the get_author_box function is created, the same one that is called in td_module_1, and td_module_full_w_content.

I think that file is showing author page and I already edited that file. Looks like this:
http://i41.tinypic.com/2rc93yc.jpg
I want to edit post view:
http://i43.tinypic.com/2z40e8m.jpg
I can’t find that file… 🙂
There’s a file named author-header.php in \parts\
Maybe that’s what you’re looking for?

Hi,
I want to edit author box on post. But i couldn’t find. I’m using cubepoints plugin and i want to show authors point on author box. How can i do that?
Hey, so I found a couple of small issues/questions and would really appreciate any help.
(ESPECIALLY with the 1st one)
1. The “your email” field in lightbox registration can’t be translated by the theme panel, also do you know how can I translate the “Authors” breadcrumb?
2. Is there any way that I could place the boxes with categories/dates (those that appear in the single slider) on the Big Slide?
3. Is it possible to add a Tabs element to a sidebar (as a widget) ? I’ve tried copy pasting the shortcodes but when I did it was a little broken. It was displaying the tabs but with some weird arrows. I managed to fix it be deleting this from style.css:
.widget_text ul {
list-style: disc url('images/icons/li.png');
top: 0px;
}
I have no idea what that part does so if you could also tell me if I should put it back or not and possibly suggest some fix to that;p
Hi, Radu and Marius
one of the remaining annoyances with pagespeed testing appears to be the gravatar, which even with our mod_pagespeed running on server, still shows up with errors in pagespeed tests.
So…. in the old days, it was common to have a user image field for each user, as a hack (which we used to do), to load an author photo into the author box. Or, probably even cooler would be for you to do a capture/cache of the gravatar image locally assigned to the user (if I knew how to code, it’s what I would do, frankly). To refresh when somebody changed their picture, perhaps they would need to delete their /images/authors/ folder or something.
Anyway… not hyper critical with all the other shenanigans folks are asking you about, but having an author image on the magazine site (hence the theme main purpose) without having to ping gravatar every time would be awesome.
Thanks, and happy new year! 🙂

be sure to put your Google Author URL into the “user account” box for the author being specified on the post(s) under the wp > users section (not part of theme).
You might also try using a plugin like Yoast SEO which puts all the fancy meta data in the header for social media. I used to run an in-house plugin, but now we just use Yoast as those folks have it all in there for the social media tools, XML sitemap, etc.
TIP: go to a post page on your site, and do “view source” in web browser to see the code for your post, and at very bottom there will be a line for Google Authorship like so (this has my author account at G+ obviously)
<a href="https://plus.google.com/+ChristopherSimmons/posts?rel=author"></a>
If you don’t see that in your source code for your author account at G+, then make sure you have your author name in your user setup.
It works for me. I use it to make the author box mini bios “smaller” since I make rest of the site text larger for better mobile/desktop experience, but then the bio gets huge.
Check that you’re stating the proper style, and class, and format that properly in the style.css file
e.g., to make the author box text a wee bit smaller (I made page text 15px);
.author-box-wrap .desc { font-size:13px; line-height:1.4em; }
OH… sorry, meant to say also, be sure you actually “activate” the child theme as your main theme … simply putting stuff in child folder won’t do anything unless you “activate” the Newspaper-child as your theme instead of Newspaper. This is one thing a lot of folks miss when working with child themes first time. 🙂

Hi,
Still have a couple issues: http://www.screencast.com/t/NCzlNWFfO
1. Can’t find how to add the subtitle
2. Capitalizing the author name, as well as possibly showing only just the first name
3. Remove the post/comment stat boxes in the author box
Again, many thanks!
Hi, folks
sorry to poke. This is one of the outstanding “bugs” for us which still lives from the past 3 updates to theme, where to keep the link working on author box in post to twitter, it breaks the user id in the meta data for the OG tags.
Any ETA on this one? I know you’re fielding a lot of queries and requests, but this is a core bug from awhile back.
Thanks 🙂
You are my hero.. Thanks Marius
Hello,
Just change like here http://screencast.com/t/PshqFtymu3Ex
Thanks for the message!
How about a multi select input to select which authors to show? in the visual composer “Author Box” tool
I only want to show 2 Authors on this specific page.. so far the only way is to “exclude” the 25 others.
Any ideas?
Hello,
Each post have a unique ID http://screencast.com/t/qaIFAFkXak48, use it to make the CSS only for that post.
You can chose to make it full width(no sidebar) from post edit. Hide the author box from CSS using the unique ID like:
.postid-2745 .author-box-wrap {
display: none;
}
Thanks for the message!
Hi
I would really like to be able to:
1) assign two authors to the same post. And if I do, it needs to show two author boxes on the bottom of the page.
2) create guest authors without creating a WP-account. My authors normally write only one or two posts, and they know nothing about WP.
3) show the name of the author (with a link to author profile page) on the top of the post.
Hope you will consider this. Thanks in advance!

Hi, Irajabi …
simply go to user > setting > and in the Twitter field put the FULL URL to the twitter account, like https://twitter.com/tophersimmons … this way the URL will work on the author page and the author box on the post page.
It will break the YOAST SEO twitter field, which it looks like the theme rewrites/overwrites at the moment.
So, right now in the META in the <head> it would have a bad twitter card link of
@https://twitter.com/tophersimmons
vs
@tophersimmons
but at least it would work “on the page” for the visitor.
I think Radu plans a fix for this in the next update.

Hi! I recently bought your theme and I have several questions.
My site: http://www.biznesinteres.ru
1) How do I make changes to author box on every post? It’s too big, I’d like to make it smaller. Or how do I turn it off completely?
2) The background image changes when you click on some article. Why does that happen? How can I keep it fixed and properly sized on all pages?
Example BG1: http://biznesinteres.ru/
Example BG2: http://biznesinteres.ru/featured/td_d_slug_17/
3) How do I add Facebook social widget and Facebook comments?
Thank you in advance!
