How To Move Your Author Box in WordPress

If you’re using the Woo framework, you’ll know that the author box position is above the subscribe & connect options.

If you’re not using Woo, you may find this tutorial on how to add an author box helpful.

If you want to move your subscribe & connect links closer to the end of your post, you’ll need to move your author box below your subscribe & connection links by adding some custom php code in your theme’s functions.php file.

Caution: Always backup your files before editing php code.

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 );

	}

If you’re not using a Woo theme, you could edit this php code and change the filters and actions (hooks) to match your themes.

Creating a unique site by customizing a Woo theme is easy as Woo will give you some of the custom code when you need to make changes to your layout & design of a woo theme.

The Woo framework also offers a Hook Manager so you can easily paste the code in any location you wish to create a custom function in.
