Title: Author Box Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Author Box * Resolved [jolney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jolney/) * (@jolney) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-box-2/) * Hi, * I’m using a custom Author Box with this theme. I have this code .author-description{ display: none; } in my CSS that keeps the WP Author Box from appearing. After upgrading to 3.06.10 of Customizer today – that doesn’t work to keep the WP AuthorBox from appearing on my site. I cannot have this happen. The code was not kept as was promised by theme designer. Please advise. Thanks.

Sorry. * [http://www.gingerconsult.com](http://www.gingerconsult.com) is the site – I created a work around in the meantime by taking the info out of the author bio but this doesn’t solve the problem.

What is the issue? What exactly do you want to do ? * Thread Starter [jolney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jolney/) * (@jolney) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-box-2/#post-4126345) * The issue is that WP Author Box appears – giving two author boxes on the pag. This code .author-description { display: none; } that is in CSS should override. When I did the update – the code did not hold. So I took out the info in the WP author box for now to make it disappear on the page – but this cannot be the ultimate fix. The Themato Author Box needs the bio information to pull in from the WP bio. In order for that to happen the .author-description { display: none;} needs to work. * GO back and look again – I put text in the WP author box so you can see the two author boxes… * [http://gingerconsult.com/2013/09/13/attract-retain-monetize-social-media-presence/](http://gingerconsult.com/2013/09/13/attract-retain-monetize-social-media-presence/) * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-box-2/#post-4126346) * Btw members are allowed to ask for links on these forums, this may be worth a read: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Include_as_much_information_as_possible](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Include_as_much_information_as_possible) * Thread Starter [jolney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jolney/) * (@jolney) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-box-2/#post-4126347) * Thanks, Andrew. Please let the mods know. I was given a raft of sh*t the last time. Very reluctant to give out info due to that incident.

This is not what I am seeing. * The only explanation I see is cache : 1) If you use a cache plugin, clean your WP cache. 2) Try to clean your browser cache too. * Thread Starter [jolney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jolney/) * (@jolney) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-box-2/#post-4126351) * [http://prntscr.com/1r70yz](http://prntscr.com/1r70yz) – It’s still there and the cache is clear – it’s not a cache issue. The issue is the code in the CSS was overwritten in the last update. The code has never been overwritten in any prior updates. In the current update it mentions that there was an update the Author Box – could that be the issue? * Thread Starter [jolney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jolney/) * (@jolney) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-box-2/#post-4126352) * And I’ve confirmed with two other users they are seeing the double author boxes– one in US and one in Australia.
