How To Put Author Box On Pages

[Ian]

I am looking for a way to add the author box to pages and to be more specific, add them to pages of my choice.

Anyone got any suggestions please

[Brad Dalton]

Use code like this :

add_action( 'genesis_after_entry', 'genesis_do_author_box_on_page', 8 );
function genesis_do_author_box_on_page(){
  if ( ! is_singular('page') )
		return;

	if ( get_the_author_meta( 'genesis_author_box_single', get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) )
		genesis_author_box( 'single' );
}

That works on every page Brad, is there a way to exclude certain pages ?

add_action( 'genesis_after_entry', 'genesis_do_author_box_on_page', 8 );
function genesis_do_author_box_on_page(){
  if ( ! is_singular('page') )
		return;

	if ( get_the_author_meta( 'genesis_author_box_single', get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) )
		genesis_author_box( 'single' );
}

[Brad Dalton]

Yes of course. Use conditional tags

I was just reading that page before you replied. On the face of it, it looks a bit heavy going for me. I did find some code but I cannot get it to work for some reason

[Brad Dalton]

Try adding the conditional tag based on the examples you see on that page and above. You need to replace this part of the above code

if ( ! is_singular('page') )
		return;

with you own conditionals.

You might need to setup a test site if you plan on doing your own custom coding.

Then you can try different conditionals like:

Is page with the slug 'contact'

is_page('contact')

Or

! not page with id of 1.

! is_page('1')
