[Plugin: WP Biographia] E-mail

Hi … first of all thanks for trying out the plugin and for getting in touch. I’ve been wrapped up in my day job for a while so I haven’t had the chance to catch up with the forums here.

There’s a new version of the plugin which, as of this morning, is now in beta and available for download from GitHub at https://github.com/vicchi/wp-biographia/tags. See https://www.vicchi.org/2011/11/01/wp-biographia-v2-0-goes-into-beta/ for more background and information.

User email support is now on the list of features for the next version, which I hope to get out into the real world in a week or so, assuming the day job let me!

Once again, thanks for using the plugin and thanks for getting in touch.

Best

Quick update; I’ve added in support for the post author’s email address and this will now be in v2.0.0; it’s updated on GitHub and will be included when I push the final version to the WordPress SVN repository.

WP Biographia v2.0 is now live in the WordPress repository. But I’d recommend caution; there’s been a report of some side effects with the new version (see here for details.

I’d love to get any feedback from people who do upgrade and whether there’s any other issues I don’t know about, and more importantly, need to resolve.

I really like the plug in. I upgraded to WP 3.3 and immediately got it. Perhaps a dumb newbie question, how do I get icons to display instead of text links to my google+, linkedin, Twitter and fb?

Hi Michele,

Not a dumb question at all, but there’s currently no support for social media icons instead of text links within the Biography Box.

However, there’s no reason why this couldn’t be done. I’ll look into this for the next version of the plugin.
