Author Spotlight (Widget)

Version: 3.4

Overall Rating
WordPress Rating

Author Spotlight widget displays the profile of the author(s) with Social links (example: Twitter, Facebook) and his/her profile picture or Gravatar on any post or page that has an Author. The widget automatically detects the current author(s) of the displayed post or page; just drag and drop the widget on your sidebar and you are done. To display a custom photograph with the Author’s Profile you may install the User Photo. In absence of this plugin the widget will fall-back to displaying the Gravatar associated with the user. If your posts have multiple authors you may use the Co-Authors Plus, the Author Spotlight will then display all the author profiles one below another for such post/page. Note that installing the User Photo or Co-Author plugin is purely optional, this widget will work fine without them as well. If you face any issues with the plugin or have any suggestion/feature requests please do so at the support forum.

The plugin ran into some errors.
