Description
SiteOnAI Bio Card helps site owners display a clean author bio/profile card before or after WordPress post and page content.
You can use default WordPress author data or create custom authors from the plugin admin panel. The plugin includes live preview, responsive layouts, shortcode support, Gutenberg blocks, author selection per post/page, design presets, import/export settings, and uninstall cleanup.
The plugin does not include telemetry, usage tracking, or remote API calls of its own. Plugin settings and custom author records are stored locally in the WordPress database. Custom author records may include administrator-entered names, biographies, email addresses, website URLs, avatar URLs, and social profile URLs. If your site displays WordPress avatars or you configure externally hosted avatar/profile URLs, visitor browsers may load those third-party resources.
