Author Bio not displaying in GP PRemium

Hi there,

The author name and author bio should shown on the author archive page by default with GP Premium plugin.

Can you enable your GP premium plugin and link me to an author archive page?

It looks like you have a block element for the author archive page to dynamically pull the author bio.

However, it’s not working, as it seems to be set to pull the term meta, not author meta.

When you log in and view the author archive page, hover over the Elements menu item in the top admin bar, what elements do you see? What are they?

Let me know 🙂

It will be a little bit complicated, try follow the steps below:

1. Go to appearance > elements, edit the archive template element.

2. In the element, add the author archives to the Exlude list:

3. Copy all content of this element by clicking the 3 dots icon on the top right, then clicking the copy all blocks option: https://app.screencast.com/hmdJGOiHrZbFZ

4. Go to appearance > elements, create a new block element – loop template and paste the content there.

5. Set the new element’s location to author archives:https://app.screencast.com/QZAat1l8ecmuu

6. Select the Dynamic content block, and set type to Author description:

Let me know if this helps!

You need to click the Block tab on the top right to see the block settings, you are seeing the Element setting in your screenshot:

Hi there

can you share a link to an Author page on your site ?

the bio appears without paragraph divisions, looks ver unprofessional..

WordPress automatically strips tags from the author bio for security reasons, it’s not something the theme controls, unfortunately.

there is no picture of the author

There isn’t an image block in your element, so this is expected behaviour.

If you want to add author images, you can use a dynamic image block, and select author avatar as the type.

I recorded a small clip for your reference: https://app.screencast.com/6DTCxfd194cMg

however, It is still not showing up correctly I chose image size to 200 and make image rounded

Does the author has an avatar set up in his/her user profile? https://app.screencast.com/vpHOFyAUv7ovD

And you also need to check if show avatar option is ticked at settings > discussion: https://app.screencast.com/mNiczfB3P5GWZ

Also, what is that ipsumlorem supposed to be replaced with?

Not sure what this mean, can you explain some more?

When I click on Archive elements I see the ipsomlorem..

Oh you mean the placeholder for the author bio in the element?

If so, it’s just a placeholder, the block can not render author bio in the editor.

For the avatar not showing issue, can you provide an admin login for me to check the backend?
