I do it using WP Robot (https://wprobot.net/), it’s like $50 with the RSS Feed module I think. It works really well. I couldn’t find any free plugins that would do it.

Errr, nevermind, the above code does work perfectly.

Ok… getting there. This puts the stuff at the bottom, and it copies over to the other 16 sites, however it then displays “admin” as the author and his bio/avatar.

function get_author_bio ($content=''){
    global $post;

    $post_author_name=get_the_author_meta("display_name");
    $post_author_description=get_the_author_meta("description");
    $html="<div class='clearfix' id='about_author'>\n";
    $html.="<img width='80' height='80' class='avatar' src='https://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=".md5(get_the_author_email()). "&default=".urlencode($GLOBALS['defaultgravatar'])."&size=80&r=PG' alt='PG'/>\n";
    $html.="<div class='author_text'>\n";
    $html.="<h4>Author: <span>".$post_author_name."</span></h4>\n";
    $html.= $post_author_description."\n";
    $html.="</div>\n";
    $html.="<div class='clear'></div>\n";
    $content .= $html;

    return $content;
}

add_filter('the_content', 'get_author_bio');

Is there a way I can get this to keep the original author? Somehow have it transmit as text and not as php functions?

Is it happening on several computers, or just one? I’ve got this going on with one computer, but every other computer I try it on (even on the same site) it doesn’t do it. Try clearing cache/history and make sure IE is up to date.

Would this be a problem with the way it was installed (was set then as HTTPS instead of HTTP), or is there a setting somewhere that can be changed to fix this?

Is there a way to parse the RSS you get using an include function?

Anyone else have some ideas on this?
