How do I add the author box to the home page?

Hi @eblogner,

first off – thanks for using Simple Author Box! In the plugin’s back-end, there’s a toggle you can turn to ON do have to manually display the Simple Author Box everywhere. However, this will require a bit of technical know-how.

If you can provide me with your website URL and/or the name of the theme you’re using, I could try and give you the exact files you’d have to modify and what to paste in.

Thanks,
Cristian.

Hello, thank you for your quick response.

I tried adding the code into my index.php, and managed to add it to individual posts and categories, but I can’t seem to add it to home anyways. And I don’t know where to look any longer.

My website is https://www.droppet.se, and the theme is “Less”.

Ok, I’ve managed to find the theme and I’ve also managed to see their index.php. Could you please tell me the exact line number you’ve put your code in?

Thanks,
Cristian.

Hello again!

I’ve added the code before every </article>.

And I thought that if it would be added in the same section as

if( is_home() || is_archive() ) {

is present, it would be in home — but it only shows up in categories and single posts still.

Hello @eblogner,

Please go to this file: simple-author-box\core\sabox_author_box and on line 17 you will find this code: if ( is_single() or is_author() or is_archive() ) {
Replace it with this: if ( is_single() or is_author() or is_archive() or is_home() ) {

And on this file: simple-author-box line 151 you will this code if ( ! is_single() and ! is_page() and ! is_author() and ! is_archive() ) {

Replace it with this
if ( ! is_single() and ! is_page() and ! is_author() and ! is_archive() and ! is_home() ) {

Let me know how it goes!

Best wishes,
Mihaela

The problem is finally solved!
The only problem was that it didn’t reference the css file on Home anymore, so I had to manually reference it.

But super thanks, I appreciate your support greatly and fantastic job with the plugin!
