Simple Author Box Pro

Simple Author Box Pro adds author information alongside WordPress posts. A box can display an author’s gravatar, name, website, biography, job title, and social profile icons. WordPress visitor profiles include more than 30 fields for social profile links.

Choose contributors and display rules

Enable guest authors and co-authors for publishing processes with multiple contributors. Guest authors can also be used as co-authors. Display controls let you pick where the box appears, including whether to exclude WooCommerce, category, or tag views and keep it on posts. The add-on needs author information tied to the content, so author boxes do not display on WordPress pages.

Set placement and link behavior

Automatic insertion can place the box at the end of a post. Pro options let you position it before or after content. For a custom location in a theme, use a template file such as single.php or author.php.

Choose whether the author’s name links to their website, author page, or nowhere. The website link can open in a new tab and include a nofollow attribute, and you can place the website on the left or right side of the box.

Match the box to your site

Adjust the color palette, font, and font sizes for the author’s job title, website, name, and description. Set social icon types and styles, with options for rotation, shadows, and thin borders. The avatar can rotate when users hover over it.

The layout is designed for desktop, laptop, tablet, and mobile screens. RTL and AMP support are included.

Show author widgets

The Top Authors widget lists popular authors based on comments. The Simple Author Box widget displays users you select.

Install and configure

Install and activate Simple Author Box Pro in WordPress, then open its settings to choose placement, display rules, links, typography, colors, and social icon styles. Add each contributor’s biography, website, gravatar, and social profiles in their WordPress user profile. Check the box on representative posts and adjust its styling to fit the surrounding content.

Privacy and fonts

Simple Author Box does not track, collect, or process user data. If Bunny Fonts are enabled, fonts load from a third-party CDN, and related data processing is subject to that service’s terms.
