How do I update the author box sidebar widget with my personal photo and description? As you can see on my homepage there is just a blank profile placeholder and “Author Name”.

Thanks and great theme!

Hi,
You must enter the author id in the required field – https://www.screencast.com/t/xnnhsRese This can be found like this – https://www.screencast.com/t/gFACPbsK Then you will have to enter the author page for that user and the link text.
Thanks
Thanks so much that solved the problem! How do I adjust the css of the text under my picture? Specifically I want to change the color to gray and add a paragraph break. I really appreciate it!
Hi,
You can identify the elements on the page and their classes using the browser inspector tool – https://forum.tagdiv.com/create-custom-code-using-the-browsers-inspector/ – https://www.screencast.com/t/ww9bYyf5
So you would need to use a code like this to change the color – https://www.screencast.com/t/w0FgidIa just enter it in Theme panel->Custom Css
.td-author-page a {
color: grey;
}
You could add a line break <br> in the link itself – https://www.screencast.com/t/X4VCKxWkYS

This is perfect thanks so much!!
Hi – looks like this thread hasn’t been updated in a few years but I’m having a similar problem. I’d like to update the author box but when I follow the instructions above, I don’t see an author ID in my profile URL. https://www.screencast.com/t/YwgcFPh3RN5
Could you let me know what to do? Thank you.

Thank you. One follow up question – I’m trying to upload my picture on the users screen – https://www.screencast.com/t/AG6Dpnp5. I’m prompted to update my picture on Gravatar, which I’ve done https://www.screencast.com/t/DoS60aRvVaN1. However my picture is not updating – could you let me know what to do from here?

Hi,
You need to set a row and set the layout in 1/3+1/3+1/3 after that drag the author box element -> http://prntscr.com/ovllfd -> http://prntscr.com/ovlltt the user id can be found by hover the user name -> http://prntscr.com/ovlmcm
Hope this will help you!
Thank you!
Thanks Calin but I’d like to add that on the sidebar of the blog posts.
I can’t edit each blog post with TagDiv composer but only via classic or block editor.
I tried to insert a widget but there’s only the author box widget (https://prnt.sc/ovogg4 – https://prnt.sc/ovohaa) which is not what I was looking for.
What can I do?
Thanks
Andrea
Hello !
To be able to edit posts with tagDiv Composer you will have to add a single post template to your posts. You can find more about it here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/design-post-pages-using-cloud-library-templates/
After that you can add this element in your sidebar: https://www.screencast.com/t/qO4KQGZDoLo
This is as much you can achieve with a sidebar. For a full reproduction you will have to create a page for authors.
Also please note that is easier for us to help you if you create individual posts for your issues !
Thank you !
Thanks for your help, Vlad.
