customizing author archive template

To do something like that you should create a page-template which requires some programing skills (PHP, CSS, HTML).
I didn’t find any tutorial to do this with Customizr, I already tried this twice and is beyond my knowledge of wordpress, sorry.

yes i think it’s not for beginner as i am to tweak the template.
But i eager to customize this and need point of direction.

We have custom-page.php in customizr. that would be a good start.

OR

If we click the author in About Author below post, it goes to author archive. is there any other way to override the default author archive by adding the author-page.php template.

any suggestion ?

Copy custom-page.php from Customizr and name it author-{id}.php in your child theme, where {id} is the auhtor’s id. You can also use the author’s username (also called nicename). So author-1.php or author-acub.php would be both valid templates for a user with id 1 or username acub.

Make your mods to the template, upload and you’re done.

Hi all!

Thanks for your comments guys. I am trying to change the author page as well but not the template. I would like to add extra fields such as email address, facebook etc. I have tried different kind of plugins which include extra fields in the user’s profile page but Customizr by default includes only the Bio section and the avatar picture in the author page.

Could you please give me an example of how I can add extra fields and which files do I have to modify because Customizr uses a different database than this I have get used.

P.S. there is a file in the part folder namely class-content-page.php but I am not sure if it is the one that I have to modify.

Thanks in advance.

No matter what database you have get used, pppandis, it is recommended that you start your own thread.

Hi Acub, sorry late to more discussed here, i’m away from PC these weeks.

But if you name itu author-{id}.php it goes to only specific author.
What if it’s general for multi author site ?
