Is there an easy way to link the Author widget on the sidebar to an “About”/biography page, rather than the author page with all of the posts?

Hi,

If you are referring to the author box widget, this has options to set a custom link for the title and also for the author page text

You can set any link you want for those elements. Please correct me if I misunderstand.

Thanks

Hi Simion,

I’ve done both of those, but the photo itself still links to the author page.

Indeed the author image and author name will always link to the author page, that is what it is supposed to do. Those links cannot be changed unless modifications are made in the code, or maybe with redirects.

This is where the author image and name links are defined in the theme, if you would like to make changes to them
