I liked the author information that the default theme Twentyten added below a post with avatar and text (if the author edited that entry).

I added the appropriate code at line 55 by copying it from the single.php of the default theme.

<?php if ( get_the_author_meta( 'description' ) ) : // If a user has filled out their description, show a bio on their entries ?> <div id="entry-author-info"> <div id="author-avatar"> <?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'user_email' ), apply_filters( 'twentyten_author_bio_avatar_size', 60 ) ); ?> </div> <div id="author-description"> <h2><?php printf( esc_attr__( 'About %s', 'twentyten' ), get_the_author() ); ?></h2> <?php the_author_meta( 'description' ); ?> <div id="author-link"> "> <?php printf( __( 'View all posts by %s <span class="meta-nav">→</span>', 'twentyten' ), get_the_author() ); ?> </div> </div> </div> <?php endif; ?>

Although it works it doesn't look really good as the classes are missing :-)

Example: http://www.injelea-blog.de/2010/07/30/klaviator-lars-reichow-in-schwabenheim/

Would there be a quite simple solution for that or should I try to find the appropriate CSS classes so it looks nicer?

It looks ok to me, but could be improved.

You've already got the ID's: #author-link / #author-description / #entry-author-info so you can play around with the styling if you want.

Use this as a start point:
```
#author-link { }
#author-description { }
#entry-author-info { }
```
and add the styles to the ID you want to show it in.

This seems like the right place to ask my question; I'm using the Twicet 5 theme, which doesn't display the author in the post, while it does display date, comments, and category. How would I go about adding "written by (author)" with the rest of the info? Thanks.

You'd need to add data for the author to the end of single.php (within the loop).

Author avatar:

<?php get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'user_email' ); ?>

Author description (set in profile page):

<?php the_author_meta( 'description' ); ?>

Look through the code above (for Twenty Ten's theme) to get an idea of how it's put together.

I thought posting complete code would help others to include. style1.css:

/* Author information, see single.php */ #entry-author-info { border: 1px solid silver; background:none repeat scroll 0 0 #E9ECF0; padding: 8px; }
#author-avatar { float: left; margin-right: 8px; } #author-link { text-align:right; }
#author-description { }

single.php:

<?php if ( get_the_author_meta( 'description' ) ) : // If a user has filled out their description, show a bio on their entries ?> <div id="entry-author-info"> <h3><?php printf( esc_attr__( 'Der Autor: %s', 'avisio' ), get_the_author() ); ?></h3> <div id="author-avatar"> <?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'user_email' ), apply_filters( 'twentyten_author_bio_avatar_size', 80 ) ); ?> </div> <div id="author-description"> <?php the_author_meta( 'description' ); ?> </div> </div> <?php endif; ?>
