<p>When running <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress Multisites</a> to maintain various top level domains or a multilingual version of your site you might probably run into the problem of having the same author description / biography on each of them.</p>
<p>This is unfortunate not only on multilingual sites.</p>
<p>Long story short, this plugin enables you to enter the author biography for each user on a per-blog basis.</p>
<p>You don’t have to do anything, but to install and activate the plugin and to enter the author bio into through the dashboard(s) of your site(s).</p>
<p>Please visit the github repository on https://github.com/webzunft/multisite-individual-author if you want to contribute, post a specific feature request or bug report.</p>
<p><strong>Some things site admins and developers might want to know:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>the plugin only works when multisite support is enabled</li>
<li>the biography is saved using a custom profile field for each blog with the pattern ‘ima_description_BLOGID’, e.g. <em>img_description_3</em></li>
<li>the filter get_the_author_description is used to load the “right” description; this is used by the<code>_author_meta()</code> and <code>get_the_author_meta()</code> functions</li>
</ul>


Individual Multisite Author

I have a personal multisite installation with numerous sites of varying content. Some require stoic professionalism in the bios, some not. Some must emphasize different aspects of the authors. For example, one is a humorous blog, one is a product documentation website. 
This plugin makes it easy for all personalities to be displayed on the appropriate site.



Works Perfectly. Exactly What I Needed.

The code is just as I would have written it myself. Just perfect! :)



Just what I needed

Unfortunately so many plugins are a mess because they try to do everything and don´t follow standards. As such I have had to write literally 100s for my own needs, some of which I have releaed in thsi repository. 

So it is refeshing when I find a plugin like this that does only one thing, does its well,a and does so without taking over wp-admin in some way. Great work

Does its job perfectly

This plugin enables individual author descriptions for each single blog in a multisite network.
