Thats perfect Arnav, thanks. How do I remove the image function (I dont need it)
Arnav Joy comments:
find the following line in author-profile.php plugin file
//Display author URL, if present
if(function_exists('userphoto_exists') && userphoto_exists($authordata)){
userphoto_thumbnail($authordata);
}
else {
echo get_avatar($authordata->ID, 96);
}
and replace it with it
/*if(function_exists('userphoto_exists') && userphoto_exists($authordata)){
userphoto_thumbnail($authordata);
}
else {
echo get_avatar($authordata->ID, 96);
}*/

if you want to hide it using ccs then paste following line in your css file
#post_author_profile img{ display:none}
Steve Watson comments:
Does this plug in not support multiple sidebars? I have several custome layouts so need to use the widget in mulitple sidebars.
Any ideas?
thanks

Put this code in your sidebar.php
<?php
if (is_singular())
{
global $post;
$author_id=$post->post_author; //get id
$field='meta name';
the_author_meta( $field, $author_id );
}
?>
Replace meta name with a valid parameter that available as field name :
user_login
user_pass
user_nicename
user_email
user_url
user_registered
user_activation_key
user_status
display_name
nickname
first_name
last_name
description
jabber
aim
yim
user_level
user_firstname
user_lastname
user_description
rich_editing
comment_shortcuts
admin_color
plugins_per_page
plugins_last_view
ID
hope this help. :)
