How to Create Author Box?

PaidMFTInternships · March 2016

Good morning! I'm trying to figure out which shortcode to use in order to create an author box that looks similar to the one used here:

I've tried the info box with photo, but the text just ends up covering the image. Plus, it doesn't look nearly as nice with the clean circular icon that's separate from the grey box containing text.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi,

this is not a shortcode but built-in author info into single post pages. You can not use it as a shortcode in any place you want because it works on single posts only.

Oh, ok! I found the author info section in the BeTheme blog options area. It seems that it pulls up my Wordpress name and icon; however, I'm wondering how I can add more info, e.g., a bio for the author.

When you are in the back-end, click on "Howdy, ..." in the right top corner and edit your profile where BIO section is.

Is there a way to pull the social links into the author box as well? right now only the bio shows on a blog and not the links for the social handles?

Hello @,
Please, go to: Betheme > Theme Options > Blog, Portfolio & Shop > General, and select "Show" from "Share Box" dropdown menu.
