Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the author box not display on a page?

The Meta Author Box plugin was designed to display the author information on posts. The plugin does not work on pages – it was not designed for this, unfortunately.

I have two author boxes. How can I hide one?

The second author box might be a theme feature and you will need to turn it off from your theme’s options, or hide it with custom CSS.
