How to Move Your Author Box in WordPress

Are you looking for a way to move your author box below any subscriber and connects icons for single posts? While there’s probably a plugin for this, we have created a quick code snippet that you can use to move your author box in WordPress.

Instructions:

All you have to do is add this code to your theme’s functions.php file or in a site-specific plugin:

function woo_author() {

	// Author box single post page
	if ( is_single() && get_option( 'woo_disable_post_author' ) != 'true' )
		add_action( 'woo_post_inside_after', 'woo_author_box', 12 );

	// Author box author page
	elseif ( is_author() )
		add_action( 'woo_loop_before', 'woo_author_box', 10 );

}

This code works with the Woo framework. However, you can easily modify the filters and actions to fit your theme, even if you’re not using the Woo framework.
