I’m looking for a way to create custom author pages that will be automatically added to the metadata of posts in wordpress. The default is simply a basic author page that only shows the author’s post.

If possible I want the template page to be able to be edited from the front-end by the user that’s logged in and also appear automatically in the post meta. For example if Jack has logged in to my website and has created a post, the author name at the top should redirect to his custom page.

Also please keep in mind that I have a VERY limited knowledge in coding (definitely not php) so hope I’m not asking for too much.

Is there any combination of plugins and/or settings that I can use to get this outcome?

Thanks in advance!

Here’s an article that I found on a quick search: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-add-a-custom-author-profile-page-to-your-wordpress/ This was the only resource with minimal coding since you said that this is not a part that you’re familiar with.

Basically, you’re the one that can control what the author page displays (the page that’s opened when you click on an author name). I never found or used a plugin to let you edit the author page in front-end but I’m sure that the article that I mentioned will help you out.

Thanks a lot for the reply! I’ll check it out
