I want to show Authors Bios for each WordPress 3.0 Multi-site Blog

  • Hello everybody,

    I am loving wordpress 3.0 and the network additions. I have a blog with 50 networked sections based on the 50 US states. Each section has a few authors. I want to display the authors bio’s in the sidebar for each section. It is important to only show the bio’s from that states contributors and no others. I am sure this is possible but all the plugins and hacks I have found so far do not work. Can anyone help point me in the right direction. Thank You All So Much!

  • Each site in the network is almost the same as a stand-alone blog. you do it the exact same way you would in a single WP blog.

    Thank you for your reply! I really REALLY appriciate your help. I had started to use this method but it does not seem to have the ability to show the author Bio and Profile Pic. Is there a way to add those using this method. I have installed a couple profile picture plugins and they are showing up in their bios. I just want to be able to show this information in the sidebar.

    Something like this?

    This would be great and would do exactly what I need… but it does not seem to work in WordPress 3.0. When I try to add an author the drop-down box is empty even though I have three authors for the blog. If I could just get these boxes to populate then this would be perfect. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    For some reason the server I am working on is stopping the widget from populating. I created a vanilla install on another server and the widget worked fine. I created a new vanilla on the main server and it does not populate. Any ideas why this plug-in widget would not work on that specific server.

    Thanks
