How to set up a author page
When a link to author is clicked, archive.php will be used for the display of blog posts by that author. If you would like to use a custom template for display of author archives, follow the steps below.
1. Copy archive.php from child theme and rename it as author.php.
2. Edit author.php.
Add
<?php // If a user has filled out their description, show a bio on their entries. if ( get_the_author_meta( 'description' ) ) : ?> <div id="author-info"> <div id="author-avatar"> <?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'user_email' ), apply_filters( 'BuilderChild-Singular_author_bio_avatar_size', 60 ) ); ?> </div><!-- #author-avatar --> <div id="author-description"> <h2><?php printf( __( 'About %s', 'BuilderChild-Singular' ), get_the_author() ); ?></h2> <?php the_author_meta( 'description' ); ?> </div><!-- #author-description --> </div><!-- #entry-author-info --> <?php endif; ?>
above
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : // The Loop ?>
Source: wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/author.php
3. Add the following at the end of child theme's style.css:
#author-avatar { float: left; margin-right: 1em; } #author-avatar img { margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; } #author-description h2 { margin-bottom: 0.5em; } #author-description { margin-bottom: 1em; }
Note: Go to author's profile page in the dashboard and enter text in Biographical Info text area. That is what gets pulled and gets shown in our custom author page.
