How to Customize Author Pages

It is possible to modify the author pages provided by PublishPress Authors.

Finding the default author pages templates #

For users of the Free version, templates you can modify are in the /wp-content/plugins/publishpress-authors/src/templates/parts/ folder. There are two default templates:

• author-pages-grid.php
• author-pages-list.php

Users of the Pro version will find the templates in /wp-content/plugins/publishpress-authors-pro/vendor/publishpress/publishpress-authors/src/templates/parts/

Modifying the default author pages templates #

To modify the design of your author pages, you should copy the default files and place them inside a /publishpress-authors/ folder in your theme's folder.

Here's an example, showing how to modify the “Grid” layout:

• Find and copy this file:

/wp-content/plugins/publishpress-authors/src/templates/parts/author-pages-grid.php

• Place your modified copy of this file in this location:

/wp-content/themes/your-theme-name/publishpress-authors/templates/author-pages-grid.php

Please note that this exact folder structure may not exist. You will probably need to create this folder inside your theme: /publishpress-authors/templates/
