Has anyone figured out how to display the author?

I have been trying find a way to display the author of posts at http://earnmoneyinsider.com

I am not having a lot of luck!

Does anyone here know how to accomplish it? I am thinking about finding a plugin for author bio boxes and just injecting those under body content, but not sure what I will come up with there.

Thanks for any simple solution for this.

If it helps I've just installed this plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/...r/screenshots/

It seems promising with a bit of tweaking.

EDIT: It works. Just need to edit the CSS to get different display.

That's what I was afraid of, JuggleDad. Thanks for linking the thread to confirm. I had found it in searching at first, but didn't want to necro it.

@virtualmotorpix: Yep, I've installed an author box as well now, I guess it'll be better to do that for now at least. Whole site might get a total overhaul eventually anyhow.

Thanks to you both!

Strangely i managed to get the author displayed today (just added

Code:

<?php the_author_meta( 'display_name' ); ?>

by editing 'single.php' in the Montezuma Options).

Some hours later... and it's gone. /confused

That code works in the postformat.php but not if you put it in single.php

And it is back, author name is showing in the single posts.

I do not understand why (did not change anything to the theme itself today). I did install the WordpressJetpack plugin, that’s the only difference (I rather not do want to disable it now, to see if the author name then disappears). :confused:

Haven't testet it without Jetpack. Jetpack was one of the first plugins I installed.

I splitted and enhanced post-footer and put this part between title and content:

Code:

<div class="post-footer">

<?php the_time( 'd. F Y' ); ?> &nbsp;&nbsp;| <a href="<?php the_author_meta( 'user_url' ); ?>" alt="Seite von <?php the_author_meta( 'display_name' ); ?>"><?php the_author_meta( 'display_name' ); ?></a> |&nbsp;&nbsp; <p class="post-categories"><?php the_category( ' &middot; ' ); ?></p>

</div>

The div-class should now be called poster-header instead of post-footer. However it's not much a problem for me.

interesting, the jetpack plugin is having some effect because without it, nothing will show.
