  Is it possible to add a photo gallery to my individual authors profile page. I thought i could add in HTML but I cannot find where to add the HTML. Thanks

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

  Hi @mklayson!

  If you mean the auto-generated author page, here: https://servingmoldova.com/author/mklayson/
  you won’t be able to add a gallery, because that page is built by WordPress automatically.

  You could, however, create a page manually. Then you could add images as needed.

  You can also list all of your posts on a standard page, with the Display Posts Shortcode, like this:

  [display-posts author="mklayson"]

  Adding that will generate a list of posts you’ve published on your site :)

  Thanks for follow up. If I created a page like you suggest is there a way to link that page so it pulls up in Author widget instead of the built in page ? Thanks for your time.

  The author widget you add in your sidebar or footer won’t be affected by your custom created page, no.

  Things like posts lists would match, because they’d update automatically on both though :)
