FAQ

Can I change the background color of the box?

Of course your can. It’s one of the options available to you in the settings panel.

Can I change the layout of the content in the box?

As of version 1.3 you can. All you have to do is create your own HTML using the following templates tags and use a filter.

Templates tags are: %%bordertype%%, %%borderbg%%, %%authorpic%% and %%content%%

Example:
Add the following to a functionality plugin or your functions.php file
< ?php
function my_wp_about_author_template(){
return '%%authorpic%%%%content%%’;
}
add_filter(‘wp_about_author_template’, ‘my_wp_about_author_template’);
?>

Can I add additional social media links?

As of version 1.3 you can. Once again using a filter you can intercept the data that generates these links and add your own.

Example:
Add the following to a functionality plugin or your functions.php file
‘http://www.myservice.com/%%username%%’,
’title’=>’My Service’,
‘icon’=>’http://www.fullpathtoicon.com/icon.png’
);
return ‘%%authorpic%%%%content%%’;
}
add_filter(‘wp_about_author_get_socials’, ‘my_wp_about_author_social’);
?>

Can I filter the author box from additional pages not listed in my settings?

Sure thing. Now there’s a WordPress filter for that.

Example:
Add the following to a functionality plugin or your functions.php file to exclude the author box from a page with the id equal to 100

Are there any other filters that let me modify the output?

The following filters have been added:
* wp_about_author_name() – Modify the output of the name in the author box
* wp_about_author_description() – Modify the output of the description in the author box
* wp_about_author_more_posts() – Modify the “More Posts” text in the author box
* wp_about_author_website() – Modify the “Website” text in the author box
* wp_about_author_follow_me() – Modify the “Follow Me:” text in the author box
* wp_about_author_separator() – Change the separator displayed between text links

Does exactly what it says. I’m using it on a 4.4.2 installation and have found it useful to update people on my news – I just edit the Author field in my Profile, and any promos etc are shared on the fly.
