Author Bio

  • Unknown's avatar

    I apologize if this question has already been asked. Also, I am completely new to everything about making websites.

    I’m trying to find where it will allow me to add an author bio. I’m using the Independent Publisher 2 theme. Will this allow me to add a bio, or do I need to switch to a new theme? If I do switch, will this delete my posts, photos, and social media link?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  • Hi @sarahpenick7322 ,

    I believe there is no set way to create a bio page as such. What works best is to create a new page and name it “Author Bio” or “About”. This can be done regardless of your theme and will be carried into a new theme, should you choose to ever change it.

    The following link shows you how to create a new page.

    As you already have a home page set, you do not need to do any of the steps from the section “Setting a “Home” Page” and down.

    Let us know how you go. Feel free to write back here if you need any more help. Cheers!

    Oh! That looks so much easier than I was expecting xD Thank you! I appreciate it :)

    And I’ll keep this topic in mind if I come up with any more questions. I’m such a n00b with this kind of stuff, I probably will!

  • No worries, @sarahpenick7322 ! Glad I could be of help.
