Does not show up in Category post

    Hello! This seems to be a great plug in, but one issue I am having is that when I post into a category nothing shows under the post. I have setup my blog so that there are multiple menu items that link to category pages. Here is my website https://blog.bpabenefits.com/ for an example go over to IATSE page from the menu. It works across every post if you add the short code but we are gonna have multiple posters and for all of them to remember to put in the short code is most likely not possible. So it would be great to have it there automagically.

    So this is a post https://blog.bpabenefits.com/?p=144 and you have Display in posts enabled in the plugin and the sexy author bio is not automatically showing up there?

    If that’s the case it’s not clear what’s causing the problem to me by just looking at the website’s front-end.

    In any case, you can add the following code to your theme’s post template file where you’d like the Sexy Author Bio to appear to get it to load on all your posts properly:

    <?php
    if ( function_exists( 'get_Sexy_Author_Bio' ) ) {
        echo get_Sexy_Author_Bio();
    }
?>

    Hello Andy,

    Thank you for the response. That is the post I was talking about but when you go over to the category like this https://blog.bpabenefits.com/?cat=27. The author bio does not show. Where exactly would I put that code into? Sorry, I am still pretty new to WordPress.

    Thank you,
    Ricky

    You’re very welcome Ricky.

    It doesn’t show up in categories because WordPress categories don’t have authors associated with them. So the solution I proposed above won’t work for category pages.

    Would you want it to show author bios for all the authors in the chosen category or did you have something else in mind? That seems like a rather strange need to me, please explain.

    Thanks,
    Andy

    Andy,

    I would want the author to show up in every post, whether its a category or whatever else. Reason being is that this blog I am building is going to have multiple authors and multiple pages where they can post into and the only way I was able to do something like that was to use Categories and set them up as if they are their own blog pages.

    Thanks,
    Ricky

    In that case replace your content.php file located here: /wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen/content.php – with the content.php file included in this zip file.

    Then make sure to set Display in to None in the Sexy Author Bio Admin Settings.

    I think that’s what you’re looking for. Let me know if that works for ya.

    Cheers,
    Andy
