On the author page, as well as after posts, the author block has more information on it. A bio, web link, and some social media profiles. When I try to use the visual composer to make a custom author section on my About page, the author area looks more like the sidebar on this page: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/author/admin/

I want it to look more like the author block seen in the actual post itself. I will be showing multiple authors like this. How would I go about doing this?

thanks

The best way that I know how to do that would be to create a shortcode based on the function “get_author_box” found on line 541 of this file \includes\app\modules\module_modifier\td_module_blog.php

But I’m qutie a n00bie when it comes to this stuff so I’m sure there’s a better way that the theme developers know.

Hello,
We fixed the author widget on our demo, now you can include or exclude authors for that widget.

We don’t have a short-code for author boxes only if you make something similar with pagebuilder using photo on left on a column and name and description in right

Thanks!
