    I installed social bookmark plugin.

    The buttons are displaying between the article and the author bio.

    <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
    <div class="postauthor"><?php the_author_description(); ?></div>

    How to make the author bio display JUST BELOW the ‘the_content’?

    Please anybody help?

    at the end of the the-content code line, add a

    might work, might not – but this is basic html formatting and if you’re stuck, try http://w3cschools.com – they have lots of per command tutorials with loads of examples.

    poo – wordpress stripped the tag I input
    – use a line break tag ” br / ” inside pointy brackets

    hilite it and use that “code” button above the editor 🙂 (or just surround code by backticks)

    See? <br />

    I can not see the social bookmark button code to move it to after this line:

    <div class="postauthor"><?php the_author_description(); ?></div>

    Problem is the socialbookmark plugin adding buttons between the content and my bio.

    I CAN NOT ACTUALLY SEE THE BUTTON CODE.

    Its a bit hard to follow your description. Is the button code present in source but the buttons are not visible when you view the page? If so, that sounds like a CSS problem to me. An URL might help, also.

    <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
    <div class="postauthor"><?php the_author_description(); ?></div>

    In single.php and index.php, I am seeing the above code under ‘Editor’.

    When I enable social bookmarks, the buttons are displaying correctly between the content and autor bio. BUT I AM NOT SEEING THE html code in single.php and index.php to move it below author bio.

    Ok. I get it now.

    Assuming this is the plugin you are using, the problem is that the plugin uses the the_content and the the_excerpt filters to insert those buttons. This means that the code is not going to show up in your theme at all.

    I’ve been looking through the plugin’s code and so far I haven’t seen an easy way to echo those buttons. I’ll try to look around more later.

    Yes. That is the plugin.

    I tried to keep the code like this. (I am not a programmer.)

    <?php the_content '<p>my name<br />my website<br />' ('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>

    But it is not working either. Getting errors.

    <?php the_content '<p>my name<br />my website<br />' ('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>

    Just correct me the above code as I want author bio just below the ‘the_content’.

    Pardon me for jumping in late, but if I understand correctly, the ‘Social Bookmarks’ plugin is inserting buttons between ‘the_content()’ and ‘the_author_description()’.

    If that is the case, you cannot move the buttons with code in the theme files directly.

    One possibility I think might work is to code your own filter for the_content() to add the_author_description(), and make your filter a lower priority than ‘Social Bookmarks’.

    Here is code to add to your functions.php to append author description to the_content. If the bio appears after the Social Bookmarks buttons, lower the priority from 8 until it moves upl

    <?php // Add author description to end of content
      function add_bio_to_content($content) {
        return $content . '<div class="postaurhor">' . get_the_author_description() . '</div>';
      }
      add_filter('the_content','add_bio_to_content',8);
    ?>

    Note that you have to remove the line in index.php which gets the bio. Also, this will affect all places where the_content is called, which you may not want.

    thank you! It worked like a charm.
