Author Profile Blocks<\/strong> is a modern WordPress plugin that showcases user profiles using four fully-featured Gutenberg blocks. It's ideal for team pages, contributor sections, author bios, and any use case where you want to display WordPress users in a polished, branded layout.<\/p>\n\n

              \n
            1. Upload the plugin folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>, or install via Plugins \u2192 Add New<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
            2. Activate the plugin.<\/li>\n
            3. Go to Users \u2192 Your Profile<\/strong> (or any user's profile) to add extra author information.<\/li>\n
            4. Open any page or post in the Gutenberg editor and search for \"author\" to find the blocks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
              \n

              Does this create a custom post type?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

              No. All blocks pull from your existing WordPress users. This avoids content duplication and keeps author data in the native user system.<\/p><\/dd>\n

              How do I add author data like position or social links?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

              Edit any user profile under Users \u2192 All Users \u2192 Edit<\/strong>. The plugin adds a dedicated \"Author Profile\" section with position, extended bio, and social link fields.<\/p><\/dd>\n

              Can I override the block templates?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

              Yes. Copy any file from wp-content\/plugins\/author-profile-blocks\/templates\/<\/code> into wp-content\/themes\/your-theme\/author-profile-blocks\/<\/code> and the plugin will use your version instead.<\/p><\/dd>\n

              How do I change block styles?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

              Each block exposes a full Style panel in the block sidebar. For deeper overrides, all CSS uses apbl-<\/code> prefixed classes and --author-*<\/code> CSS custom properties, making targeted overrides straightforward.<\/p><\/dd>\n

              Can I show only authors with a specific role?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

              Yes. The Grid, List, and Carousel blocks include an Author Role filter. Set it to any registered WordPress role and the block will only display users with that role.<\/p><\/dd>\n

              Is the plugin compatible with full-site editing (FSE) themes?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

              Yes. The blocks render server-side and use standard Gutenberg wrapper attributes, so they work in both classic and FSE\/block themes.<\/p><\/dd>\n

              Will it slow down my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

              Each block caches its rendered HTML. On repeat page loads, output is served from cache rather than re-querying the database and re-rendering PHP templates.<\/p><\/dd>\n

              Is the plugin translation-ready?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

              Yes. All user-facing strings use __()<\/code>, _e()<\/code>, and related WordPress i18n functions with the author-profile-blocks<\/code> text domain.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n

              1.0.1<\/h4>\n\n
                \n
              • Fix: align all apbl-<\/code> CSS class selectors with PHP template output \u2014 styles now apply correctly on the frontend.<\/li>\n
              • Fix: animation duration now reads --author-animation-duration<\/code> CSS custom property (was --animation-duration<\/code>).<\/li>\n
