wp-biographia don't display in single post's

This should be pretty straightforward. The post template you’re using has author information hard-coded into it, so unless you want to duplicate some information you’ll need to comment the code you’ve shown above out. This is basically what FAQ 5 is saying …

I’ve installed and configured WP Biographia and now I see not one but two differing Biography Boxes; what’s going on?
There’s probably one of two things going on here. Firstly, you’ve already got another plugin that makes a Biography Box installed and active and this plugin, as well as WP Biographia, are doing their job properly. Secondly, the theme you’re using hard codes a Biography Box into the theme templates. Both the TwentyTen and TwentyEleven themes supplied as part of a standard WordPress install do this.

You can either delete the code, or comment it out, along the lines of

<!--
<div id="post-author" class="clearfix">
    <div id="author-avatar">
    <?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'user_email' ), apply_filters( 'platformbase_author_bio_avatar_size', 50 ) ); ?>
    </div><!-- END author-avatar -->
    <div id="author-description">
        <h4>Om f?rfattaren</h4>
	<?php the_author_meta('description'); ?>
        </div><!-- END author-description -->
</div><!-- END post-author -->
-->

Then simply ensure your author (or author’s) profile(s) have biographical information set in them and ensure that “Display On Individual Posts” is checked in WP Biographia’s settings and options and you should be good to go.

Thank you so much for the response!
I realize the post template I’m using has author information hard-coded into it and tried commented that part out but then nothing displays, I’ve never had double boxes displayed. I just can’t seem to get the WP Biographia box to display. And I’m positiv that “Display On Individual Posts” is checked.

My single.php:

Check that your user isn’t suppressed in WP Biographia’s settings/options and that your user doesn’t have the “Don’t show the Biography Box on your posts” setting checked.

-Gary

NO user is suppressed and the “Don’t show the Biography Box on your posts” setting is NOT checked. If I have all the boxes for “Individual Posts”, “Front Page”, “Post Archives” and “Individual Pages” checked the only on that work’s is “Individual Pages”.

Thanks again for having a look at this for me.

OK. Can you see what the contents of the wp_biographia_settings array is in your database (you’ll find it in the wp_options table) and paste it into this forum thread?

-Gary

Sure! Is this what you are looking for?

That’s exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks. Let me digest this.

-Gary

The only thing I can see in your database settings is that it looks like you’re using a custom post type called “slides” … is this the post type you’re trying to display the Biography Box on?

You have the display of the Biography Box on single posts turned on (s:27:"wp_biographia_display_posts";s:2:"on";) but on the “slides” post type it’s turned off (s:28:"wp_biographia_display_slides";s:0:"";).

-Gary

Any update on this?

-Gary

Tell you what Gary, I kinda gave up on this. My custom post type is not the problem and I seem to be loosing this battle. I even tried with another theme and the problem is still there. What function or string of code triggers the plugin to display?

So this is really odd. To answer your question, the plugin hooks into the the_content and/or the_excerpt hooks (dependent on the theme and/or template) to trigger the display, based on the plugin’s configuration. As you’re running on the latest released version, v2.4.4, want to try out the beta of v3.0, which is code complete?

-Gary

v3.0 is now out of the door; let me know if you still have this problem.
