This plugin does the same thing as the the_author tag, displays the author name, however this one is linked to a hidden div(layer). Once you click on the author name the hidden div will show up together with the author details (taken from author profile page) plus the gravatar photo if the author has one, as well as a link to the author’s BuddyPress profile. If not, the default gravatar photo would be used.
This is a refinement of Igor Penjivrag’s Author Exposed plugin, released in 2008. See http://colorlightstudio.com/2008/03/14/wordpress-plugin-author-exposed/ for that plugin.
This plugin was developed specifically for use with WordPress MU and BuddyPress. It will work with WordPress, but the author link (my main point of interest) won’t be operable. That may change in a future version/adaptation of the plugin.

<h4>Summary</h4>
Simple Debug Info Panel for WordPress will enable you to instantly see some “under-the-hood” debugging info for your site. With one click (or none at all), you can see which template is being used, what the post/page ID is, the current screen/viewport size, any categories a post is assigned to, and some more.
Every item’s visibility can be turned on or off, so you have complete control over what will be shown in the infobox.
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Shows template information: see which template is being used for any page you’re looking at.</li>
<li>Shows post/page ID: gives you the internal WordPress ID of the current post/page.</li>
<li>Categories/tags: shows relevant categories and tags of the post/page (if they are not displayed on the page itself).</li>
<li>Screensize indicator: shows the viewport size, updates in real time (so you can figure out why styles within a certain media query are applied or not).</li>
<li>Turn on/off which information you want to see: you can choose whatever you want the infobox to show. </li>
<li>Positioning of box: choose placement of the box from 4 options (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right)</li>
