single page meant for one author&rsquo;s information and blog archives.

altogether. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, there&rsquo;s a good chance you want at least some creative control over the author page, or you want to add one since your theme doesn&rsquo;t have any. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The right method depends on your theme. With a block theme, the Site Editor is the fastest route: you redesign the author template visually, with no plugins or code. On a classic theme, a plugin, a page builder, or a custom template file will do the job. All four methods are free, except the page builder route, which requires Elementor Pro. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can use one of these methods to add\/customize a WordPress author page:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#method-1\"><strong>Method 1: <\/strong>Edit the author template in the Site Editor (easiest, block themes)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#method-2\"><strong>Method 2:<\/strong> Use a plugin (easy)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#method-3\"><strong>Method 3: <\/strong>Use a page builder with custom archive templates (easy)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#method-4\"><strong>Method 4: <\/strong>Manually create an author page in your theme files (hard)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"before-anything\">Before anything<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before attempting any of these methods, make sure the user information for at least one author is filled in.

block to get the classic &ldquo;photo on the left, bio on the right&rdquo; layout, then adjust colors and spacing in the block sidebar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&rsquo;d rather not assemble the blocks one by one, open the <strong>Patterns<\/strong> tab in the inserter and search for author or profile patterns: some themes bundle pre-designed sections you can drop in and restyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One honest limitation: WordPress user profiles only hold a bio, a website, and a photo by default. If you want social media links or other custom fields on the author page, you&rsquo;ll need a profile plugin (Method 2) to store that extra data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Save and check the result<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Click <strong>Save<\/strong> in the top right corner, then open an author page on the front end (the easiest way is to click the author&rsquo;s name under any blog post title). Every author on the site now gets the same design, and each page automatically shows that author&rsquo;s own photo, name, bio, and posts. &#127881;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And because it&rsquo;s a template, you can come back and tweak the design anytime: every author page updates automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image blog-img-std\">\n<figure

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want richer author profiles than WordPress offers by default, a plugin is the way to go. There&rsquo;s no dedicated author page plugin, but several membership and profile plugins allow you to create <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wordpress-user-profile-page\/\">rich profiles<\/a> for each of your contributors, and they work with classic and block themes alike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Install the plugin<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this method, the tool of choice is the free <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/ultimate-member\/\">Ultimate Member<\/a> plugin. It&rsquo;s actively maintained, and it adds profile pages, custom profile fields, cover photos, and more. To begin, install and activate the plugin on your WordPress site:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-pic-wrapper align-center large\" style=\"margin:20px 0;\"><div class=\"wp-pic large plugin wp-pic-ajax scheme2\" id=\"wp-pic-ultimate-member\" data-type=\"plugin\" data-slug=\"ultimate-member\" data-image=\"\" data-expiration=\"\" data-layout=\"large\" data-slugs=\"[]\"><div class=\"wp-pic-body-loading\"><div class=\"signal\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- .wp-pic-wrapper-->\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create core pages<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After activation, Ultimate Member offers to create its core pages automatically (User, Account, Register, Login, and a few more). Accept the offer, so you don&rsquo;t have to generate user profile pages manually:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image blog-img-std\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img

lets you fully customize every detail of your WordPress author pages by using archive templates. The archive templates are simply lists of past blog posts under a certain author. You can then add more details with the drag and drop editor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#128073; For this tutorial, the examples use Elementor. Keep in mind, however, that the Theme Builder and the Author Box widget are Pro features, so you must have <a href=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/pricing\/\">Elementor Pro<\/a> for this to work.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Elementor Pro installed, go to <strong>Templates &rarr; Theme Builder<\/strong> in the WordPress dashboard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Theme Builder<\/strong> shows several template types to choose from. Pick the <strong>Archive<\/strong> tab, and click on one of the <strong>Add New<\/strong> icons:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image blog-img-std\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img

Add the Method 2 plugin when authors need extra fields like social links, reach for the page builder when you already build the rest of the site with one, and only open the theme files when you want total control over the markup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull centered-group-KK-dark has-background has-text-color\" style=\"color:#ffffff;background-color:#0463c6\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Here&rsquo;s a recap of what this article covered:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What a WordPress author page is, and why it&rsquo;s so important for contributors, site owners, and site visitors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>That WordPress automatically comes with built-in author pages, but there&rsquo;s limited customization, and many themes change their display.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How to edit the author template visually in the Site Editor with a block theme.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How to use a plugin (like Ultimate Member) for richer, fully customizable author profiles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using a page builder (like Elementor Pro) to design the WordPress author page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Manually creating and editing an author page with custom code in the theme files.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\t\t<div class=\"ti-tweet-clear\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ti-tweet_wrapper\">\n\t\t    \t<div class=\"ti-tweet_text\">\n\t\t    \t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=How+to+make+custom+%23WordPress+author+pages+-+4+methods+for+everyone+%E2%9C%92%EF%B8%8F+%F0%9F%93%84&amp;via=themeisle&amp;related=themeisle&amp;url=https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/custom-wordpress-author-pages\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">How to make custom #WordPress author pages - 4 methods for everyone &#10002;&#65039; &#128196;<\/a>\n\t\t    \t<\/div>\n\t\t    \t<div class=\"ti-tweet_sharebtn\">\n\t\t    \t<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=How+to+make+custom+%23WordPress+author+pages+-+4+methods+for+everyone+%E2%9C%92%EF%B8%8F+%F0%9F%93%84&amp;via=themeisle&amp;related=themeisle&amp;url=https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/custom-wordpress-author-pages\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Click To Tweet \n\t\t    \t\t<span><\/span>\n\t\t    \t<\/a>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Do you have any questions about any of these methods on how to make a WordPress author page?
