[Plugin: WP Biographia] How Do I Make the Bio Display on Top of Author Archive Page Only

    Hi. The only bio I want to see is one that appears at the very top of the author archive page. I can make this happen with your plugin by selecting nothing related to displaying on individual posts. That’s fine. But the actual bio that appears is not the full loaded one adminstrated through the plugin settings. It’s this plain one:

    https://stlukescrblogs.com/test/author/angelaherself/

    No links, no custom title (just About <author name>), no way to email the author, twitter, etc.

    How can I get the above – bio above post archives – but have it be the “fancy” bio? We want the author page to be the one stop show for info about the author.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    From looking at the source to your author archive page I can see you’re using the Twenty Ten theme. The reason you’re seeing the “plain” Biography is that this is hard-coded into the author.php template file for this theme, you’re not actually seeing the output from WP Biographia.

    You have three choices here …

    1. Leave things as is and accept what the theme displays.
    2. Edit the author.php file to work the way you want it to by removing the hard-coded theme biography.
    3. Create a child theme, based on Twenty Ten, which contains a custom author.php.

    I had the same issue and went down the child theme route for my blog; you can see the source for my author.php here – https://github.com/vicchi/twentyten-vicchi/blob/master/author.php and this is what it looks like running on my blog – https://www.vicchi.org/author/gary/

    Hope this makes sense and is of help; let me know how you get on.

    -Gary
