Adds an author box below text when viewing a single article. Idea taken from a <a href="http://smsh.me/7ngf" rel="nofollow ugc">Brian Gardner’s</a> article.
It allows also the author to define links to the external websites like Twitter, Identi.ca, Facebook, Netlog, LinkedIn, Drupal Association and WordPress.Org (included in <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/author-box-reloaded-pack/" rel="ugc">Author Box Reloaded Pack</a>) (REQUIRED). Those external websites are very simple plugins and you can check the them to see how to make your own. At the front-end those will appear as clickable icons.
Starting In version 2.0, theme developers or authors can selectively include Author Box Reloaded using either a Template Tag or a Content Shortcode or even a mix of all this together.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE INSTALLATION SECTION HERE AND IN THE <code>readme.txt</code> INCLUDED.

Poodle Plugins

This plugin will allow you to choose a custom URL for your author links, instead of the standard WordPress author page. 
This can be useful if you want to link to your own Twitter, LinkedIn or other social media profile.
There are two areas where this plugin can be configured:
Firstly, a global settings section is available under WordPress Settings. Second, under each users profile page.
A user can set their own custom URL on their profile page, and this will apply just to them. 
This can can be overriden by the global admin setting, if the ‘Override Individual Authors’ setting is checked.
Custom author URL’s also redirect author pages when directly accessed. 
For example if your user is called Bob, and you try to access https://yourblog.com/author/bob, it will redirect.

WP Custom Author URL

Set a custom URL for your author name link, on a global or author-specific basis. Also redirects all author pages.
