Responsive Author box on sidebar

Is there a way I can add the Author Box that appears at the end of each post onto a sidebar? I could do it by copying HTML for each author into a visual editor widget on custom sidebars but am wondering if there is way to it on one sidebar that is responsive to the post content.

Hi,
If you edit a sidebar in the widgets area, you can add an author box like so: http://screencast.com/t/3lUb7Y2LnEu

Thanks for your reply.

I’ve tried editing a sidebar using an Author box in the widget area however that seems limited to showing the authors name, pic, post count, comments and website in a list form and I can’t see a way to make it responsive (show the author box that matches the author of the current post).

Is there a way configure the author box widget to show a responsive author box like the one that appears at the end of each post that includes the authors biographical info. If not is there any code I can use in a visual editor widget to do that?

Thanks

Hi,
Unfortunately our theme has no such setting. The sidebars widgets were not designed to detect the post displayed including the post author. Unfortunately there is no easy way to do this. The author card on posts was created custom and cannot be added inside the sidebar. Maybe you can find a plugin that has this functionality but we cannot recommend any.
Thank you!
