  Hello All,

  My personal blog http://dresslure.com/ and there is a guest blogger who wrote for my blog so i need to include a About Author box under her post. You can see: http://dresslure.com/feeling-like-a-queen-at-the-beach-no-matter-your-body-type-or-size-2/ This is one of the article that she blogged for me.

  I have added this blogger as a role or “Author” and in the “Biographical Info” section, i have filled in the basic info. Certainly I have also installed a plugin called “WP About Author” and you can see under each post, there is an About Author box displayed there. This is correct.
  But what i want to do is to CUSTOM THE AUTHOR BIO INFO so it could display some other info.

  Therefore, i installed another new plugin called “Custom About Author” and under User–Custom Authors. I have checked out the option “Use Custom HTML” and filled in the new info there. I thought this could replace the default author bio info which displayed before. But it didn’t. Now i am not sure where is the issue.

  Anyone could be so kindly help me out?

  Great Thanks!

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

  Hi there,

  You’ve reached support for the free blogs hosted at WordPress.com.

  The site you’ve indicated is running a self-hosted/installed version of WordPress (using the free WordPress.org software).

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.
  http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  WordPress.org has complete support and documentation sites for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress at:
  http://wordpress.org/support/
  http://codex.wordpress.org/

  Hi melchoyce,

  Thanks a lot for your reply.

  So you mean Since i am now using free wordpress.org software, i need to ask wordpress.org for help, instead of on wordpress.com?

  Thank you!

  Hi,

  That’s correct. You can ask in the WordPress.org support forums:
  http://wordpress.org/support/

  There’s also a support forum for the plugin you described, “WP About Author”, which you could try:
  http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-about-author

  I hope your issue is solved quickly!
