How do I add an author bio box?

  • Hi there,

    I’d like to add an author biography box to this website between two specific blocks: the pin (“ENJOYED THIS POST? PIN IT FOR LATER…”) and the related posts (“YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE”).

    I tried to add a block/hook via Elements, but had two problems: 1. I could only see a way to add the block to the very bottom of the content rather than where I want it. 2. I couldn’t see a way to set a rule so that different blocks are shown for different authors.

    My question: is there a way to programatically add an author bio box short of installing a plugin? I saw that we can manually add the “Author biography” block to each post, but I was wondering it there was an automatic way to do this.

    Thank you,

    Kia

  • Hi there,

    The content area does not have any hooks, so no, there isn’t an option to add a hook between the 2 sections you mentioned.

    You can dynamically pull the author name and bio using a block element – hook, here’s a demo video:https://youtu.be/4x6CjGOyagc?si=TeQQi6xX9YyK_88M

  • Thank you for your reply.
