FAQ
-
Yes. Molongui Authorship is compatible with any theme. You may face some issues though, like the author box not having a style you configured or the author pages not listing co-authored posts. In such cases, you can open a support ticket with us and we will look into it to find a compatibility fix.
-
Yes.
-
By default, the author box is added at the bottom of all your posts. However, Molongui Authorship provides you plenty of display options to change that. You can change the location to make it display at the top of the post content, hide it on some posts or disable the automatic display so you can decide on which handpicked posts it must be shown. The Pro version of the plugin allows you to hide the author box based on the post category.
-
Yes. Unlike other author box plugins, Molongui Authorship allows you to show the author box on both posts and pages. To be able to display the author box on pages, go to Authors > Settings > Author Box and find the Display panel. There you can configure Molongui Authorship to automatically display the author box on pages.
-
Yes. You need the Pro version of the plugin to enjoy the features on custom post types.
-
The second author box might be a theme feature and you will need to turn it off from your theme’s options screen, or hide it with custom CSS. Please refer to this support article to know how to proceed. If that doesn’t help, you can open a support ticket with us so we can assist.
-
To avoid clutter the edit screen, some social networks are not displayed by default. To configure which networks to display, go to Authors > Settings > More and find the Social Networks panel. There you can pick the ones you need.
