Author title and picture erroneously displayed

    I am using WordPress 5.5.1 with Total 5.0.4.

    I am developing a new site where we want to show authors on posts by selecting entries from the staff list instead of the user list.

    We installed the plugin and there is a bug: the author bio title and image under the posts belong to the author from the users table, whereas the author bio text is displayed from the selected (through the plugin’s drop-down) staff member.

    What should be corrected so that if a staff member is selected, all relevant bio information under the posts is correctly shown and belong to this member only?

    Last but not least, is there a way to individually switch-off any author information within selected posts (e.g. via a WP Code)

    Hey,

    I’m not having these issues when I test locally, the name/social/image/description all change correctly. I recorded a video to show you my test https://a.cl.ly/Z4uy6oPy

    And have you perhaps modified the author-bio.php file via your child theme at all? It’s possible if this file was modified in your child theme it is outdated so this plugin isn’t working correctly.

    You can conditionally disable the author bio via some code which I could provide. But are you using the standard blog post design or perhaps a custom design via a template? Because the code will differ quite a bit. For example if you are using a standard blog post design you would have to filter out the post “blocks”, example: https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/snippets/alter-single-post-blocks-posts-specific-category/

    ps: If you are using the Total theme you can also always report these bugs via the Total forum or open a ticket as well. Just so you know 😉
