Authors Box Doesn't Show Bio

Hello,
We have this on our todo list for the following updates, to make the author box(from posts) as a widget.

Thanks for the message!

Hi,
We will try to make it in the next update, this week.

Thanks!

Hi,
Is still on track. Until that you can change like here:
Add this code in td_authors.php here: http://screencast.com/t/XfDOSGxu

$buffy .= '<div class="vcard author"><span class="fn">';
$buffy .=  td_util::excerpt(get_the_author_meta('description', $td_author->ID), 200);
$buffy .= '</span></div>';

$buffy .= '<div class="td-author-social">';
foreach (td_social_icons::$td_social_icons_array as $td_social_id => $td_social_name) {
    //echo get_the_author_meta($td_social_id) . '<br>';
    $authorMeta = get_the_author_meta($td_social_id);
    if (!empty($authorMeta)) {

        //the theme can use the twitter id instead of the full url. This avoids problems with yoast plugin
        if ($td_social_id == 'twitter') {
            if(filter_var($authorMeta, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)){

            } else {
                $authorMeta = str_replace('@', '', $authorMeta);
                $authorMeta = 'http://twitter.com/' . $authorMeta;
            }
        }
        $buffy .= td_social_icons::get_icon($authorMeta, $td_social_id, 4, 16);
    }
}
$buffy .= '</div>';

Then add this CSS in Theme panel -> Custom CSS

.td_top_authors img {
    height: 100px !important;
    max-width: 100px !important;
    width: 100px !important;
}
.td_top_authors .item-details {
    margin-left: 122px !important;
}
.td_top_authors .item-details {
    height: auto !important;
}
div.vcard .fn {
    color: #444444 !important;
}
.td_top_authors .td_mod_wrap {
    min-height: 100px;
}
.td_top_authors .author .fn {
    font-family: 'PT Sans',sans-serif;
    font-size: 14px;
    font-style: normal;
    line-height: 21px;
    margin: 5px 10px 10px 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    display: inline-block;
}
.td_top_authors .item-details .td-social-icon-wrap,
.td_top_authors .item-details .td-social-icon-wrap span {
   padding: 0px;
}
.td_top_authors .item-details .td-social-icon-wrap {
   margin: 0px;
}

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks @Christopher!

@SnakeEater
Unfortunately you can’t modify the td_authors.php file using the child theme, you will need to modify the parent theme, you can find here the files that can be changed via child theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/child-theme-documentation/

Thanks
