Add an Author Box on Single Posts

Some child theme demos display an Author Box after the post content and before comments on single posts.

You can see an example in the Genesis Sample child theme here: https://demo.studiopress.com/genesis-sample/image-aligned-left/

Image

To add an author box to your posts, go to Users > Your Profile, scroll down to the About the User section, and add your content to the Biographical Info field. See below for the text and HTML used in the demo.

To add your profile picture (gravatar), you must have an account at http://gravatar.com with an image uploaded before it will show on your profile screen or in your Author Box.

Image

Next, scroll down to the Author Archive Settings section of the same screen and check the Enable Author Box on this User’s Posts box.

Image

Be sure to click Update Profile at the bottom of the screen (not shown here) to preserve your settings.
