Author pages

Hello,

We all know you need to have properly sorted author bios, author arcives and so on if you want your site added to Google news (author bios seem more important than the news content just lately). So that’s what I’m tasked with sorting out now.

Having looked, I can’t see how to do anything to the author card except add social links. I can see there are references to author archive layouts, but I can’t find anything else at all.

How can I add a proper author bio?

All I see is the text box in the wp users section, and all that does is dump totally unformatted text into the author card.

I can’t even see how to do something as basic as adding line breaks, so the bio I just created looks like a dog’s breakfast. I must be missing something, so guidance would be appreciated!

Just thinking about it a little more, how do I pull together all the authors onto a single page, listing them all? Is that only possible if I build the page manually or is there an option inside the theme?

Sorry to bug you on this but the last site I submitted for inclusion in google news got rejected initially (not connected to this theme) because of author bio / attribution issues and I don’t want waste time with that again.

Hello,

You can create a page in the tagdiv composer and place the authors element on that page. it will bring a list of all the authors. There is no other predefined template that can do this.

Thank you!
