Author Spotlight (Widget)

A Sidebar widget to display the Author(s) profile on the Single page. Example web page: http://www.nirantar.org/1006-nazariya-cola-debate.

Download Version 2.1

Author Spotlight widget displays the profile of the author(s) with website link and profile picture or gravatar on the Post (Single) page. The widget automatically detects the current author(s) of the displayed post, just drag and drop the widget on your Single page sidebar and you are done.

To display a custom photograph with the Author's Profile please install the User Photo. In absence of this plugin the 'Author Spotlight" widget will fall-back to displaying the Gravatar associated with the user. If your posts have multiple authors you may use the Co-Authors Plus, the widget will display all the author profiles one below another for such posts.

Note that installing the User Photo or Co-Author plugin is not mandatory. This widget will work without them, but they are nice to have.

If you face any issues with the plugin or have any suggestion/feature requests please do submit there at this place.
