How To Display Author’s Profile/Bio In Wordpress Blog

ADVERTISEMENTS

If you have a multi-author blog, then its good to display the biography of the author of the post. The bio that is displayed is the one that is in the Your Profile settings under Users. Have a look

In this post I am going to tell you how you can display the author’s bio along with the Gravatar. Usually, its shown below every single post ends. So here also I’ll tell you how to display it after each post ends.
Firstly open style.css file and paste the following code at the end.
.author{
background: #ececec;
border:1px solid #cccccc;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 5px;
margin-top:10px;
margin-bottom:10px;
}
.avatar {
float: left;
width: 80px;
height: 80px;
}

What we have done is, we have created a new class named author and avatar and given it some formatting options. Now its time to use the class.

Now open Single.php file with any text editor.

Now, search for the_content and put the following code after it.
<div class="author">
<?php
$author_email = get_the_author_email();
echo get_avatar($author_email, '80', 'avatar');
?>
<?php the_author_description(); ?>
</div>

Now save your work and enjoy. You can set the settings as per your requirements in style.css file.
