I’m looking for an Author Box that works with Buddypress and am coming up blank.

The best I’ve been able to find is a post with a bunch of code to add the author bio underneath a post. But what about in a widget in the sidebar? Has any progress been made on this/ I have I missed something? Would looove to integrate an Author Box with Buddypress.

thanks @venutius, just so folks are clear (it took me awhile to unravel how it works) the blog-author-profile-for-buddypress plugin creates a Widget you can place in a widget area – my theme has an ‘after post widget’ area

author widget pulls extended profile data fields. nice.

FYI – don’t use Blog Author profile For BuddyPress from https://buddydev.com/plugins/blog-author-profile-for-buddypress/

they have a much more recently updated version on github

well, that note was premature — the github version, is supposedly a couple years fresher, but it doesn’t work

The plugin is still under active development, if you are having issues with it you should raise them on the Github site. I found it works for one use case but there’s a known bug when used with custom post statuses that messes another use case I have.
