with Photo, name, roles, description, social media profiles and recent posts?

Hi Ethangreys,
The reference page is a default archive page by WordPress.
It can be achieved through two things.
1. Block Element – Page Hero – https://docs.generatepress.com/article/block-element-page-hero/
For this, add a Headline Block to retrieve
descriptionthrough the Dynamic options. Reference: https://docs.generateblocks.com/article/dynamic-data-options-overview/#content-author-metaHere is a list of author meta you can retrieve: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_the_author_meta/#description
2. Block Element – Content Template – https://docs.generatepress.com/article/block-element-content-template/

Hello,
Thank you for giving the great information but it doesnt help in my issue. Here is my site with Generate Press premium:

How can I request more information of users : Photo, name, roles, description, social media profiles to this page.
-
Yes, that should help.
You can retrieve those user information through a Dynamic Headline Block as mentioned.
More or less, you’ll need to create something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4x6CjGOyagc&t
Just create it inside your Block Element – Page Hero.
Then, for the social profile author meta, that usually comes with plugins like Yoast. You can also create it through custom code. It’s discussed in the video.

Hello,
This linke is for showing the author box ( with social media links) on every posts.
How to put the author box on the archvive page? I am sorry but the author profile pages of Generate Press looks horable for all of childtheme and there is no real complete guide to make it better for nontechnical users?
With the EEAT update of Google for SEO, a lot of users like me want a better user profile pages. The current one is not acceptable.
Thanks,

That same thing should also work for a Author Archive page. That’s just an example.
See here for a couple of screenshot examples: https://share.getcloudapp.com/v1uW1gJ2

You can grab Author meta through a Headline Block as shown. It’s up to you how you want to design your Page Hero.

Hello mate,
Spent 1 hours to do this:
https://hackfest.tv/author/hieu/
But there are 2 issues:
– The original author name still exist, there for there are 2 aurthor names in the page. Although I already disable the title, feature image … https://prnt.sc/ArLaz6OXBt5Y
– The user meta cant’t not be shown: https://prnt.sc/BSOsn4ryEkGlPlease help to investigate this.

You have another Block Element showing the title. Go to Appearance > Elements and look for that Page Hero. Exclude it from displaying on Author Archives.
As for the Author meta, what are you wanting to show exactly? You need to add meta field name for something to appear.

Hi mate,
Thanks, I updated and removed the default title.

I want to show the bio of the users. I added the bio in the users setting, but nothing show up.

Great! Try setting the meta field name to
descriptionoruser_description. Reference: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_the_author_meta/#description
