Hi,
I wanted to know what WordPress role a user needs to see the Custom Authors link in the admin screen under Users. I know the super users / admins can see it. However, we want to give that capability to other non-admin / super users so they can create and edit custom authors.
We are running a multilingual / multisite installation.
Please let me know. Thank you.
]]>Hi,
We have a multisite and multilingual wordpress setup. We use WPML for translation and the Co-Authors Plus plugin as well. How do we get this to work with WPML String translation? It seems like this plugin is no being scanned by the String Translation plugin.
Please let me know. Thank you.
]]>It seems that the feature:
Able to display ANY custom profile (does not need to match the username of the post author)
is not working on WP 4.5.3 nor WP 4.6
I create a custom field in the post for “post-author” but it is not working. I had to log the author in to be able to use his or her profile on the post page.
Any suggestion?

Thanks!
]]>I don’t know if you’re still actively supporting and developing this plug-in, but I’ve been working with it, by now a fork of it, for several weeks off an on.
Among the changes: additional profile fields and icons for social media of particular interest to me and my users/authors, including options for a public contact email and home page (the latter taking up the WordPress website URL); a recent posts listing and other links within the bio box; functions for displaying a different version of the bio on author pages, with extended biography.
What I’m now working on, after originally anticipating something easier!, is display bios outside of the Loop – for instance on an anticipated “Contributors” page. Easiest would be to display them by USER ID, though listing them by anything else from their usermeta would of course be easy once the USER IDs are collected in an array.
I’m currently looking at the possibility of re-writing functions that use get_the_author_meta for get_user_meta while accessing the caa_Author array, while seeing if I can use already present functions as much as possible, though I know they weren’t built with this use in mind.
I won’t go into extensive detail here right now, but I’m wondering if you have already done any work along this path or have any suggestions. If you’re no longer supporting or working on this plug-in, I understand, but might at some future point (not urgently!) like to fork it “officially,” or, if you prefer, take it over.

]]>I’m having a problem in my website, when my author box appears. This notice appears:
Notice: Undefined index: use_custom_image in /hermes/bosnaweb10a/b2701/ipg.economizareinvestirc/wp-content/plugins/custom-about-author/display-about-author-block.php on line 134
And the line 134 is:
if($author[CAA_Profile_DB::use_custom_image]){
after this, is:
if($author[CAA_Profile_DB::use_custom_image]){
//use custom author image url
$author_image_url = caa_html_entity_decode( $author[CAA_Profile_DB::custom_image_url]);
$author_image = ‘<img src=”‘.$author_image_url.'” width=”‘.$image_size.'” height=”‘.$image_size.'” />’;

Hello,
Could you tell me how to tell the social media links to open in a new window and not the current window?
Thanks!

]]>Hello I’m probably being a noob but I’m still not sure how this works.
Basically I want to be able to add a custom author. An author that does not have an account in the wordpress website. Is this possible?
I have a custom field with post-author but I want to add custom details name, image, social links etc but these authors do not have an account. Adding a non-existent username seems irrelevant.
Please help.
]]>Hello,
Is there a way to remove the author box for one particular post? Maybe custom field area? I don’t know. I looked through the information but I’m not too tech savvy. Please help.
Thank you
]]>Hi. First off, thanks for a great plugin, it does exactly what I need.
However, when I add a custom author and include them into a post using the shortcode you provided ([custom_author=username]) it displays a box for that custom author, but right under it there is also a box displayed for the non-custom (or original) author displayed.
Is there a way to remove that?
Thanks!
]]>Hi –
Love the plugin. Thanks for writing it and sharing it!
We have international authors, and LinkedIn uses different domains for these profiles (they aren’t https://www.linkedin.com/in/username). You’ve hardcoded the https://www.linkedin.com into the UI. Is there any way that this can be overridden? Maybe I can request this as a feature?
]]>Here’s a sample page: https://oamain.wpengine.com/2014/10/19/sample-blog-post/
It is showing both the post author profile and the custom author profile. If I check off to not display the post author profile, neither one appears.
]]>I’m trying to get my user who publishes blog posts to be able to add custom authors. She can see the Users menu on the left side of the WP admin panel but can’t see “Custom Authors” like she needs to for your plugin. What permissions do I need to enable for her to be able to see the option?
]]>It would be phenomenal if the columns in the Custom About Author admin screen (columns: Username, First Name, Last Name, Email) were all sortable on click of the column heading. Please add this feature to the next version? ??
]]>Ok, so this is what I did.
I copied the HTML from the Author bio box on the site (the standard html produced by the plugin) and copied it directly in the “Custom HTML” editing box, in HTML view. I then checked off the “use custom HTML” box and saved changes. The result wasn’t quite what I was expecting, so I unchecked the “use Custom HTML” box and deleted all of the text / html that I entered into the “Custom HTML” editor box. When I tried to “Save Changes” after doing that, it didn’t respond.
I’m guessing my only “fix” for this is to delete the Custom Author and re-create them.
Please advise. Thank you for you time and assistance!
]]>Hello,
Is it possibly to change the social media icon images from the ones supplied with the plugin.
I want to use ones that are styled to fit with my theme.
Thanks
]]>I have a theme that has issues with displaying links inline by default. So as you can imagine the social icons on this plugin are displaying vertically instead of horizontal. Is there any way to force them to display inline?
]]>Hello,
just discovered this neat plugin, and I am currently trying to configure it. As I am using a dark WP theme, I need to change the background color of the author box, but have no idea how? Also, font size is a little too large. Is it possible to adjust these things? Any ideas how I can manage that?
Best

How can I add a title=”” to the gravatar image in the author bio box that resides at the bottom of posts? I tried to edit display-about-author-block.php to no avail. This is what code is there:
<img alt="Chris Dill" src="https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4f5ae5de0427c2bb8c40dddd112f62cb?s=75&d=https%3A%2F%2Fsecure.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D75&r=G" class="avatar avatar-75 photo" height="75" width="75" title="" data-pin-url="https://www.virginiaseo.org/blog/seo-resource-list-2014/">
And here is what I tried in the php to test (no variables) on line 277:
$author_image = '<img src="'.$author_image_url.'" title="Title" width="'.$image_size.'" height="'.$image_size.'" />';
thanks in advance!
]]>For others having the problem of slashes added to links in the author description, this fix worked for me. Here’s what you do:
return caa_get_author_bio_html($author);. Replace that with return stripslashes(caa_get_author_bio_html($author));
The end. Hope this works for you! ??

]]>Do i need add any code in php?
I don′t know if i need add a code
]]>Hi,
This plugin really looks good.. But somehow the php codes:
echo caa_get_current_author_bio();
echo caa_get_author_bio($username);Does not work on templates. They do work on pages though. I might be missing something or is there any fix for this?
Thanks
]]>Is there any way to upload an avatar? I have several authors that do not have gravatar accounts, and their avatar is left as the mystery man.
]]>We have added the CAA php code to our author.php template, however it is showing a blank profile. Code:
echo caa_get_current_author_bio();
Default bio working on this page: https://thrivenetmarketing.com/web-design/looking-for-a-good-website-hosting-service/
Blank on this author page: https://thrivenetmarketing.com/author/inzerillo/
Any ideas?
We are not using custom bios, but just want to use the plugin’s auto-generated bio from the default user profiles.
Thank you for your assistance and a wonderful plugin!
]]>When I try and add a link to the author’s description or custom HTML, it appears fine until I click on the save changes button.
At that point, it adds my website in front of the URL like this:
https://mywebsite.com/”https://example.com/”
When I review the code, it appears that when I click on the save changes button the plugin adds a \ to either side of the link I’ve added.
Please advise how I can fix this as I need to publish a guest post this week!
Many thanks.
