    I'd like to customize the Author Page. Specifically, I'l like to replace the default author box with the one generated by Starbox. I can call it by shortcode but, after searching google and here, I cannot find where I go to change this.

    Ideas?

    Thanks,

    dd

    My guess is you'll need to unhook the Genesis Author Box and hook in the Starbox Author Box. Something like this in your functions.php file should work:

    //* Remove the author box on single posts HTML5 Themes
    remove_action( 'genesis_after_entry', 'genesis_do_author_box_single', 8 );
    
    //* Add the Starbox author box on single posts HTML5 Themes
    remove_action( 'genesis_after_entry', 'verge_do_author_box_single' );
    function verge_do_author_box_single() {
      if ( is_single() ) {
        echo do_shortcode( '[starbox-shortcode]' );
      }
    }
