  • No clue about your “categories bigger” question.

    Look in the index.php in your theme for a line like this:

    <!-- <?php the_author() ?> -->

    Make it look like this:

    <?php the_author() ?>

    This is known as “uncommenting”. You should now see author info.

    strange…i cant seem to find it

    can i just put it in? if so then where?

    also by categories bigger i mean like on https://www.majornelson.com

    Yes, just add:

    <?php the_author(); ?>

    where you want it to appear in your theme templates. A little more info on this template tag:

    “also by categories bigger…”

    Those are tags not categories, and the list is called a tag cloud. However the following plugin provides a categories as tags solution (with tag cloud functionality):

    Awesome thanks! One last thing: How do I make it so that the “author” is clickable to show all the posts/comments made by the author? is there such a built in functionality?

    At the same link that KAf posted for you – just look around for ALL the related links. Read before posting, that’s a good general rule!
