Hi, I have 4 questions about the author box :
1- I’d like to show an author box at the end of only some chosen posts, is it possible?
2- I understand that the image in the standard author box is necessarily the gravatar from the WordPress account of the author. If I want to show who is the author of a post written by an external writer, and I don’t want him to be a contributor on my wordpress website, I think that I need to create myself his author profile. How should I do to import his portrait (I’ve got the image as a jpg file) without editing his wordpress account/gravatar ?
3- When I click on the name of an author just below the post title, it goes to my homepage (exemple here: https://devenirbilingue.com/apprendre/anglais/cours-formation/certifications-danglais-laquelle-choisir/). I’d like to choose the URL where it goes, or to create an author page with all the posts from this author.
4- In some cases I’d like to replace the author name below the post title, by something like “Guest post”. For that I need to delete the word “By” in front of the author name. In the translations tab I can’t leave it blank. Is it possible to show only the author name with no “introductory word” ?
Thank you !

Hello !
1. Yes, that is possible if you’re using only post template from the cloud library. All the cloud templates are fully editable using the tagDiv Composer. Find out more about it here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/design-post-pages-using-cloud-library-templates/
2. Unfortunately without using gravatar that option would not be possible since WordPress only works with that.
3. As you can see here: https://www.screencast.com/t/eKxQCkpAHVH when using an Author Box you will be able to set multiple urls so you can redirect your users to another place.
4. That can be removed using custom CSS. In order to set it on certain posts you will need to specify that. Provide us a page where you’d like to have the word By gone and we’ll show you how to remove it.
Thank you !
Thank you. Regarding your answer #4, here is a post where I’d like to remove the word “Par” (which is the translation of By) : https://devenirbilingue.com/apprendre/bilinguisme/parler-plusieurs-langues/apprendre-une-langue-etrangere/
Hello !
You will have to right click on your page and Inspect (CTRL+Shift+I) – https://www.screencast.com/t/OzsqVnxOUrsb As you can see here your post id is 653. So on this code you will have to change the post id:
.postid-653 .td-post-author-name div{
display: none;
}
If you want to have the BY gone from everywhere you can simply remove the .postid-X from the code.
The code must be inserted here: https://www.screencast.com/t/J1Nxw5s5
I hope this was helpful !
Thank you !
