Hi,
There is an element in the composer that are created specifically for this task
– https://www.screencast.com/t/v7rEnDZJes
Or maybe even the team member element could be useful

Thanks
Hi Simion
thanks
Author box would imply a manually bulding of the page, correct?
Does Authors box work with more than one column?
I cannot find the team-member function. Where do I have to look for it?
Cheers

Hi,
The authors box can be used on pages built with the composer, or as a widget in sidebars for example.
The team member is one of the many multi-purpose elements introduced in the 8.5 theme update. The multi-purpose plugin was made available, to be used together with the tagDiv composer. It ads many items and functionality to the builder

Hi Simion
thanks. I found now the team-member function. But it is still unclear to me, how I can insert all active authors via this function in the page.
Also my question is still open, if authors box can automatically placed in more than on column.
Cheers
Hansjörg
The authors box can be placed on any row layout you want, it will look like this example

This element is created specifically for this task.
The team member element I suggested because it is somewhat similar to the one you mentioned. This does not have specific options to display user roles like the authors box. An image must be set manually, socials and a description text as well.
Thanks
Hi Simion
Thanks. How can I Change Settings of the authors box? E.g. showing the author Information, social Networks, or not Show comments and article Count?
Cheers
Hansjörg
All the settings can be seen when configuring the box

It will show the user avatar, name, post and comment number and website link. That would all it can display.
If you require more settings and capabilities you could as well try an author box plugin, such as these maybe

Hi
I am happy with the theme’s author box. All I want is to Show the Content of the normal author box using the authors box function on an Author’s page. Other themes provide this functions automatically, so I wonder if such a sophisticated theme as newspaper does not have such an Option…
Cheers

Hi,
Unfortunately that will not be possible with the current authors box element capabilities. This together with the single author box are currently all the elements in the matter
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/author-box/
Maybe these elements will get a redesign, or an additional element will be added in a theme update. That is a possibility.
Thanks
Hopefully a nice looking automated authors page will be integrated in the next update. As I said, I wonder, that is not part of this great theme already.
But back to my question: How can I integrate the authors bio in the authors box?
Cheers
That would require modifications to the authors box. By default it does not display the bio. Copy the code from the author box which displays the bio
– https://www.screencast.com/t/HLjvdq1e
Paste it in the authors box like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/wwP5UWRb
Now with a small height adjustment the authors box will display the bio for each author
– https://www.screencast.com/t/06qdsfZmmmj0
.td_top_authors .item-details {
height: 100px;
}
Thanks
Hi Simion
thanks that works great.
How can I
Hide the comment-numbers?
Show the social Networks of the author there as well?
cheers
Hansjörg
Hi,
Hide the comment number either by removing it from the code in the file shown, or with CSS
– https://www.screencast.com/t/bXYNF5wBb
.td_block_authors .td-author-comments-count {
display:none;
}
Showing the socials for each user would require major modifications to this element, you could try to integrate the socials in but that may not be easy, to get and display the socials for each author would probably take a lot of work and testing.
Thanks
