email share button AND avatar/author bio display

Hi tagdiv,

A few questions.

1. Is there some kind of a shortcode that I can use to display individual author’s avatar and bio?
2. Is there a way to display the Author bio using the Authors box widget? On this page but also adding the bio and social networks?

3. Is there a way to add Email share to the good-looking theme share buttons located above the post featured image?

Thank you,

Hi

1. Unfortunately the theme doesn’t have a shortcode to display the author’s avatar and bio.
2. Add this code in td_block_authors.php like here: http://screencast.com/t/R6S6WsSsV – http://screencast.com/t/bFIbFgG7ve9W

$buffy .= '<div class="td-author-description">';
    $buffy .=  get_the_author_meta('description', $td_author->ID);
$buffy .= '</div>';

3. I am not sure how do you you want to implement the email share. If you want to have a subscription box you can try a plugin like mail chimp: https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/

Thanks!

Regarding #3, For each post I would like to have an “Email Article To A Friend” share button next the facebook and twitter share buttons. See red arrow:

Hi

The theme doesn’t have a option to share the post/page via email but you can use a plugin to achieve that. Unfortunately we didn’t tested any of the plugins with a similar functionality and I can’t make any recommendation. Also I found here some information which may help you implementing this feature: http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-add-email-this-option-to-your-wordpress-posts/

Thanks!
