Feature Request: Authors Opinion

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 31

Hey there, I’m currently trying to implement a box that is seperated from the main content with the personal opinion of the articles author. This is very helpful if you want articles to be objective and keep the personal opinion of the author seperated. I thought this would be great to show up in the authors-box since everything is already there, like the name picture and description of the author. If you know how it would be very simple I guess since you would only need a custom post field.
Trying to do this on my own failed though because I can’t find the location of the authors-box on single-posts.

Hi,

You can find the author box for the single post page in this file – https://www.screencast.com/t/taUGJhD3M But you could also add a custom field in the post structure, depending on the post template style that you are using and editing the theme files responsible – https://www.screencast.com/t/lLgdrq0Y
More information about custom fields here – https://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Fields
Or just search for a plugin that can insert the text you want inside the post page, if you do not want to edit the theme files, because there must be some with this capability out there.

Thanks

Thanks!
My solution now is using Advanced Custom Fields Plugin and inserting this line

then style it with custom css in the theme panel.

Still a feature within the theme would be cooler 🙂
