Author profile as "Page" rather than "Post"

    It appears that when you create your staff page and profiles, that staff page itself is a WordPress “page” but the profiles are “posts.”

    This causes a problem, as I have my website set-up so that advertisements and the social share menus appear on posts only (I am a news website).

    I don’t want the social share banners and advertisements to show up on my author profile pages, but I can’t figure out a way to differentiate these staff “posts” from the news posts on the site. It seems that a post is a post when it comes to WordPress. Any easy fix?

    As of right now, this is what my author profile pages come out looking like:
    https://www.topropepress.com/staff/ryan-droste

    The staff page is fine, though, since it is classified to wordpress as a “page”:
    https://www.topropepress.com/staff

    Is there an easy fix for this?

    This is not really a bug, but intended behavior. You’ll find the same thing with just about any plugin that introduces custom post types (WooCommerce, etc.). Ideally, your sharing plugin would let you choose which post types to display the info on.
