    Hi there,

    I'd like to add author name, description (bio), website and other details to the author page that comes up when you click on an author name. It's author.php in non-Genesis themes but I can't find it in Genesis.

    Please let me know where I can find the equivalent to author.php in Genesis.

    Regards,

    In Genesis you can enable the author box to show on the author archive page -- see this for example.

    To enable that, simple go to the Edit User screen the WP dashboard, and scroll down to the Author Archive Settings section and make sure Enable Author Box on this User's Archives? is checked.

    @brian-gardner:

    I added the facebook and twitter fields which now shows up for Author whenever somebody goes onto their posts and that is perfect.

    Now, when anyone clicks on author's link then it gets redirected to the archive where on the top it only shows the biographical info of the author. How can I add the Website, Facebook, Twitter field info there?

    Thanks.


    I make WordPress websites using Genesis Framework.
