Power UserHi,
I want to use a plugin to display an author bio box below all my blog posts. But when I enter any text in my WordPress user “Biographical Info”, I get two author bio boxes (from the plugin + some native WordPress one). How do I disable the WordPress author bio box?
Thanks!

Cryout Creations mastermindWordPress doesn’t include a way to disable the author biography and all default Templates (which our themes are inspired from) display the bio when it is set.
If you need to disable the theme’s bio inclusion you’d need to customize the
content/author-bio.php
file (preferably through a child theme).If you like our creations, help us share by rating them on WordPress.org.

Power UserThanks. But I can’t find any author-bio.php in the content folder. Could you please point me to the correct file to edit?

Cryout Creations mastermindSorry, the indicated file does not apply to Parabola. In Parabola the author information is handled directly by the file responsible for the author archive: author.php (in the root of the theme), which you can copy over and customize in your child theme.

Power UserThanks for the reply.
I moved the author.php file to my child theme, and removed the below code.
Unfortunately, the author bio box is still displayed after each post. To be sure I flushed the cache and tried another browser, but still the same result. 🙁
What can be the issue? Thanks// If a user has filled out their description, show a bio on their entries.
if ( get_the_author_meta( ‘description’ ) ) : ?>
<div id=”author-info”>
<div id=”author-avatar”>
<?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( ‘user_email’ ), apply_filters( ‘parabola_author_bio_avatar_size’, 60 ) ); ?>
</div><!– #author-avatar –>
<div id=”author-description”>
<?php the_archive_description( ‘<div class=”taxonomy-description”>’, ‘</div>’ ); ?>
</div><!– #author-description –>
</div><!– #entry-author-info –>
<?php endif; ?>February 11th, 2020 at 04:10 #98773andy76

Cryout Creations mastermindThe author biography can also be displayed directly by the single.php template.
