When you’re running a multi-author blog, it makes to display author profile and author bio on blog posts so the audience gets a feel of their favorite author. Although WordPress allows you to display author bio at the end of the post, sometimes it’s even better to add a little author avatar in the post info inline with the author name, date of publish and number of comments.
Adding author avatar in your post info adds personality to your blog and helps your site visitors (and subscribers) immediately recognize their author of the post. In the age of thought leadership, an author avatar is a key component of your blog.
Now that I’ve explained the benefits of adding author avatar in the post info, let me share how it’s displayed in your Genesis themes.
Add the Following Code to Functions.php File
Add the Following to Your CSS File
.single .entry-header .avatar {
margin-right: 20px;
}
That’s all! Let me know if you have any questions.
