Hi guys
I absolutely LOVE the author box on the Newspaper Sample page (http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_classic_blog/?p=74) on the right hand side at the very bottom. It sais John Doe, there is a black-and-white picture + a short text about the author.
I have tried to make my own with the widget “Author Box”. However, it just lists me as an author without the possibility to add a text.
How did you guys do the author box? it looks so cool!
Thanks

Hi,
The “About me” section from you pointed is made using a text widget and add html code in it like this: http://screencast.com/t/FFwelzXh
Here is the html code for the About me widget from our demo: http://pastebin.com/yHjMe9eu
Add it like this: http://screencast.com/t/RSImGF6xaU
You can create a custom sidebar for each author and add the “About me” text widget in each sidebar for each author and use that custom sidebar on post for the author you want like this: http://screencast.com/t/NcTj0uH5ph
Thanks
Thanks Lucian, I will give it a shot!
Hi Lucian
so I have inserted following code in the Text widget under “appearance”.
<div style=”text-align: center;”>
<h2>Miss Kay</h2>
Ich bin Miss Kay.
</div>
Here is the situation: in the preview it does show the desired result and text. However, even upon saving the text widget, it doesnt show the result on the website, when checking on my other devices. Have I left something out?
Here are the screenshots of the code:http://screencast.com/t/qojf4M7Pr8Uf
Here is the preview result: http://screencast.com/t/2jWsmTpk4y
Here is how it looks online (no text widget with picture visible): http://screencast.com/t/qxntTcihXsF
What have I missed out on?
Thanks Lucian!
Hi,
Please make sure that you use the same sidebar it should appear as expected, try to create and add it on other sidebars and see how ti goes.
Please let me know!
Thanks
Hi Lucian
I wanted to give you a heads up. First of all, I successfully managed to implement the author box into my default sidebar. So that one is solved.
However, I do have new questions now 🙂 Sorry to bother you with this, I already invested hours into finding the solution myself, but failed sadly. So here we go:
1) Concerning my HOMEPAGE ONLY (http://misskay.tv/): How can I manage to move the sidebar up? I want it to start at the top right,next to the big slider. See screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/rv0Mu2lg I just want to change it for the page “Homepage”. I am fine with how my default sidebar is set for all remaining pages.
2) Concerning the Category Block Modules on my Homepage: How can I manage that you can slide through them, just like you can slide through the big slider? See Screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/jsMhOiAWioR
3) Concerning the Category Block Modules on my homepage: How can I make sure that only the most recent 6 posts are being displayed? I want to create a seperate page which shows all my posts ever written (similar to an archive) and I do know how to do that. But I also want to ensure that the block modules only display the most current ones.
4) Concerning Reviews: How can I switched on the date on which the review was posted? At the moment, it only shows the rating, views and comments. The date is missing. See screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/tFJ6mdwwqW
5) Categories: How can I delete or rename unwanted categories?
6) How can I delete the “Latest Article” Block module from my Homepage? See screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/BGo3T73kBD
That’s it for now 😉 Sorry for all the trouble, Lucian.
Cheers!

Hi,
1. You need to edit your homepage and set an sidebar using page builder and the widgetised sidebar element from Visual Composer, like this: http://screencast.com/t/itccvd4YTHk or you can set just the main content then use the page template settings to set an sidebar for the page like this: http://screencast.com/t/k1EWvWocDSB9
Please note that the sidebar set for the latest articles section is independent from the one you set for the page and content above so for the articles section you need to set and sidebar or remove it from here: http://screencast.com/t/FbXKlemE
2. Unfortunately that can’t be achieved as the theme doesn’t have an option like that. You could try to search and use a plugins for that.
3. You can edit the blocks used for each category from your homepage and customize them to use the latest articles from one specific category or more and just 6 posts so those block will always display the most recent 6 posts.
ex: http://screencast.com/t/dgAKYZZR6zEB
4. I’m afraid the theme doesn’t have an option for that either.
5. You can edit/remove/add categories from here: http://screencast.com/t/JNtZscxhiA
6. You can edit the page and change the template into one that doesn’t have the latest articles section: http://screencast.com/t/CJQeIAVeM
Thanks
Thank you so much, Lucian! Excellent support, it worked out beautifully 🙂
