Hi there,

I have disabled author Box supplied by the theme and have installed simple author Box wordpress plugin.

Now how do I insert in page template as By: Mathew. It should be next to date.

Thanks!

You can try to add your coding to the style template found in your /themes/Newspaper/ folder. Note there are different templates for each post style, like “style5” and then a loop file for “style5” which has the content loop. Usually when I go to move/insert stuff I will open up the file, and put in something like
<p>testing placement</p>

into a spot, then upload then go to the website to look at one of the posts.

I’m sure tagdiv will provide a better step by step, but that’s the broad strokes on how to do it. 🙂

If you want to manually insert the Simple Author Box in your template file (single post view), you can use the following code snippet:
<?php if ( function_exists( ‘wpsabox_author_box’ ) ) echo wpsabox_author_box(); ?>

Please could you help on page location, name and which line I need to insert this.

Hope it will not impact other configs.

Hi George,

Post’s author name under the title, next to the date is independent from the author box located at the bottom of the article so you can use this configurations: http://screencast.com/t/09AAN1wowXh which should disable the author box but leave author’s name under posts’s title next to date, like this: http://screencast.com/t/ufEGBKdTw7

Let me know if this isn’t helping.

Thanks for the message!

1. With regard to Author

Thank you so much. That helped.

But the homepage posts also showing author name.

Author name should be hidden in home feed along with that hyphen.

2. With regard to Author box – Author Profile Page

It is hidden in posts page as expected. But when the author name is clicked.. the theme author box is still displayed. I would like to replace like below screenshots.

Hi,

1. Try this custom css code: http://screencast.com/t/eE5IQ8nL3ao will hide the author name from all modules:

.td_module_wrap .td-module-meta-info .td-post-author-name {
display: none;
}

2. That is the page author box found on author pages: http://screencast.com/t/HPaosHCA You can replace it here: http://screencast.com/t/PR1OTc3a

Thanks!
