How to Add Multiple Author Bio Box in your Blogger Blog

Are you struggling to add an Author box on your blogger blog? Well, I have got many requests from blogger platform bloggers about the problems they are facing in adding a working and a good looking author box. So instead of answering them through mails, I have come up with this tutorial which will help you add an author bio box below your blog posts.

This isn�t a simple code, this thing works for multiple author blogs as well. It means that if you have multiple authors writing content on your blog, then this widget/code will display their author box automatically in their posts. It means the author will not have to add his/her code manually into their html section of the blog post.

• Replace Iftekhar Ahmed by your Name. Replace the Text in Blue with your Author Bio and replace the Text in Green by Author image.

How to Show Author Bio Box for different Authors

If we have a multiple author blogger blog or if we allow other bloggers to do guest post on our blog, So in such cases the guest blogger/author would like to get his Bio box displayed in place of your's. So this code will allow you to do so. To add author boxes for different authors just add the same code given above. All you need to edit will be his name, Bio and his image link. 

You can see the above image, I have added the same code again for my guest blogger Yashraj Kakkad.

Common Problems You May Face

1. Author Box doesn't show after adding the code below <data:post.body/>.

When you search for <data:post.body/>  you will find it many times depending upon your template. So you have to check adding the author box code below every instance of <data:post.body/>. 

For example in iftiSEO ELICE Template it works with the first instance itself. 

2. Author Box not displayed even after adding the code below every <data:post.body/>

This thing happens if you misspell your name with the name by which you are registered as an author. Open your blogger dashboard and click on settings and go to basic settings. Make sure the Author name matches with the name that you add in the author box. See the snap below for more.
