Starbox Pro

Choose where author details appear

Set an author box above or below content, then select whether it appears on posts, pages, or both. Starbox Pro works with a default theme and individual theme and placement choices for each author. Boxes can also appear on the add-on’s author pages.

Build profiles readers can follow

An author profile can include a name, job title, company with a link, and a biography formatted in paragraphs. Authors can upload an picture instead of using Gravatar. Their boxes can link to their articles and show their latest posts. You can conceal the box for selected authors or suppress another author box on the page to avoid duplicates.

Each author can have a various set of clickable social links. Listed services include Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, Instagram, Flickr, Pinterest, Tumblr, YouTube, and Vimeo. The add-on also works with WooCommerce and other e-commerce add-ons.

Place one or several authors with a shortcode

Add [starbox] to a post or WordPress widget for a manual display. To select an author, use [starbox id="login_name"]; add desc for a custom description or theme to choose a theme. A list of usernames or author IDs can display multiple authors, for example [starbox id="john,david"] or [starbox id="1,2,3"].

Set up profiles and authorship settings

Enter author profile details and social accounts, choose the placement, theme, and content types, then add a shortcode where you need a specific author display. Google and Facebook account details can be added to an author profile for the plugin’s Google Authorship and Facebook Authorship features. Its listed technical features also include HTML5 and Google Microformats, including vCard.

Starbox Pro adds visual themes and author-specific controls to Starbox, with setup designed to work without coding or complicated menus.
