You can search for a widget here: <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=author+widget" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=author+widget</a> but I'm not sure if they'll work. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-take-transfer-the-about-the-author-part-to-main-page-sidebar#post-87683 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 20:48:51 +0000 sulker 87683@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Thanks for that. So if we add these codes to the sidebar.php, can't we see it on sidebar? Isn't there an easy way to add author info &amp; picture to sidebar? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-take-transfer-the-about-the-author-part-to-main-page-sidebar#post-87654 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 18:01:22 +0000 Dude 87654@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Removing the author box is no problem at all - open up single.php and delete following code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div class=&#39;entry&#39; id=&quot;author-box&quot;&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;gravatar&quot;&gt; &lt;?php $author_email = get_the_author_email(); echo get_avatar( $author_email, $size = &#39;60&#39;); the_author_posts_link(); ?&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;author-info&quot;&gt; &lt;h3&gt;&lt;?php _e(&#39;About the author&#39;,&#39;newscast&#39;); ?&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;?php $description = get_the_author_description(); if($description != &#39;&#39;) { echo $description; } else { _e(&#39;The author didnt add any Information to his profile yet&#39;,&#39;newscast&#39;); } ?&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;</code></pre> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-take-transfer-the-about-the-author-part-to-main-page-sidebar#post-87652 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 17:45:21 +0000 sulker 87652@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Can't we delete the "About The Author" part landing at the end of the pages? Is it so difficult? I want to delete it from there and add to the right sidebar as an widget or as an info with my picture. Thats all. I think it mustn't be so difficult? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-take-transfer-the-about-the-author-part-to-main-page-sidebar#post-87567 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 07:56:53 +0000 Dude 87567@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Afaik this is not easily possible because the sidebar/widget code is outside the post/page content loop and query. Depending on your php skills you can try to implement this feature though. I'd store the entry id into a global variable which can be used in sidebar.php to get the author information. But you'd also need to find a way to handle pages with many entries (like archives, etc.) - eg conditional tags: <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags</a> can be used for this task. I hope this helps you or your developers a bit. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-take-transfer-the-about-the-author-part-to-main-page-sidebar#post-87505 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 21:44:28 +0000 sulker 87505@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I want to take the "About The Author" part from pages to sidebars on main page. So I want delet it on pages and just place to sidebars on main page. How can I do that? </p>
