I’m trying to create an author page for a multi-author blog. How can I do this with rows and columns of boxes containing a photo, name, bio and list of recent posts for each author?
Hello marlenedeleon,
If you want to create an Author Page, notice that we have only the Author Box element from Visual Composer which displays all the Authors from your website, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/qeoSnHy1zI
Thanks for your understanding!
So I am doing the about page for my site. And I used the Author Box but it is not showing me as the author. It asks for the Author ID but is that the Author Username or is that the WordPress UserID given when the User is created. If it is the latter then I am not sure where I can find that number. I have read through the documentation for the theme but that documentation doesn’t talk about configuring the blocks. Is there another resource that explains how to use different blocks?
Hello,
If the block settings are the one you are looking for, you can find them in this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
The author id or any other id is shown in the back-end when hovering over a user, post , category or any other element where an ID is used. Here is how to see the ID: https://www.screencast.com/t/LuqJLey1
Thank you!
I was trying to figure out what the User ID was so I could tell it what user to display. I tried hovering, but I think the issue with that method is that I am the only user on my site. I just was not sure if I was a different user ID or if it would have started at 1. So, in the end, I just tried 1, and it worked, and then I read your reply.
On another note though when I do try and put a fade in effect on the author box it does not seem to work? Any idea of how to fix that?
Hello,
Well it depends on how you add the fade-in effect. Our theme does not have a fade-in effect so it must be a custom code you added to make this. The code could not apply for different reasons. If it’s a css modification try to add !important after the css attributes.
Thank you!
Well, there is an option for the fade in effect on the container of the Author Box, and in the container, I said to fade-in… I understand if that is not going to work on the Author Box module. I just would have thought that you could include a transition effect so that if you wanted a page to look the same, you could implement those transition effects.
Hello,
Sorry but I do not understand what fade-in you are referring to. Our author box element does not provide a fade-in setting. Please provide a screenshot of how you are trying to add a fade-in effect
Thank you
The fade in effect is in the column container. So like the setting for fade in is not actually on the author box. I just thought it would inherit because the author box was inside it. Is there any way to put an effect on the Author Box? and why would you not have effects for that?
Hi,
Unfortunately the column effects will not work with our theme elements.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Is there any way to get that effect outside of using the block settings?
Hello,
You will need coding skills for this if you want to implement custom loading effects. Here is an example:

Thank you!
