what's up everyone my name is George and this is sassmaster I want to show you a simple author box and show you what I like about it and I dislike about it now what it does it creates an author box

stack and get more sites and if you need unlimited stack two additional codes and you get unlimited websites so if you're an agency that might be a good idea all right so before I show you how to use Simple author box let me show you the sponsor for this video which is hostinger so if you're looking for a shared hosing plan this is a good option all right so link we provided in the description go to hosting web hosting and you're going to find their share hosting plans right here now in this case I'm going to select the business hosting plan because I want to show you how to apply an extra discount coupon code now once you're here hostinger is going to ask you how many months do you want to pay in advance I recommend 48 months because you lock in the lowest price lowest Ral price and you're good to go for 48 months and this is the current price but if you add my coupon code which is sasm the price is going to drop to $172 with with 37 cents so use my coupon code okay so the simple author box I already have it enabled on this website that's a demo side and you can see here's my image here's my name and I can add the biography right here my Social Links and the latest post right here for this particular author okay so all of this can be customized inside of simple author box plug-in once you have it installed and enabled you'll find it here in appearance simple author box okay the the first settings you're going to find is the visibility settings now first of all one thing I dislike about this plug-in is that I would like to visualize the changes that I make as soon as I take these on or off some of them do display but not all of them and I would like for that to happen and let's start off so for example visibility you can for example manually insert a simple author box so that means that if I want to display it somewhere else that's not by default on a post well I can use a short code or the PHP code that means that if I have a membership plugin on my WordPress side I can display it in certain places of that membership plugin by using the short codes or the PHP code in this case I'm not going to use that all right you can hide the author box on archive which I think is a good idea you you don't want to display it there author box position in this case I've put it before the content just to show you guys but by default it's after content the author name should link to you could say the author's website or none so it doesn't create a link there show the author box on certain pages or just the post in this case it's set to post show author box on categories and taxs which I don't think is a good idea and use custom biography which I do like because it'll give you more context of what the author can do this is just demo side so I won't enable that all right then we have the element settings so show author email in this case I don't think so unless you want to enable that maybe you are I don't know a website for books and you want to have more information about the author well you can have the email enabled there social icons in a new tab do you want them to open in a new tab I say it's a good idea so they stick on your page and go to social media hide the social icons on the author box if you don't want to display them go ahead and table them right here right then you got your appearance settings which I think again I would like to visualize this you got your margins which I think is a good idea to set straight from the beginning for example they are really tight where it comes with the content with the social box so you have to give it some margin on top and the bottom and then you got your margins from inside of the Box all right you author Avatar image 100 pixels you want to make it bigger smaller here's the settings uh right now it's set to fancy and it's like the fancy cutout that you're viewing right here so if I want to make make a square round Etc you got the options right there do you want to rotate effect like the one you just saw right now enable it or disable it which I it gives it a little nice touch you got show author website I don't think it's a good idea for this one but you might have a use case so social icon Styles you want to make them colored or you don't want to make them like uh stand out you can use symbols here and you got your Social icon style squares circles Etc I'm going to change the circles this time so for example that one did display automatically and then you got your author box border style you got your select author box you got your background image to make something gradient something look nice which I think is a good touch highight existing author box and more options let me go and save this because I turned them to round ones you can see they also rotate which is a good idea also the author box tabs in this case I've enabled the show latest post it could be for example latest deals you can change it to say deals instead of post depending on how you want to use this you got HTML for the custom uh tab right here tap colors and go ahead and save it and this should be updated to latest deals right there then you got your color settings by default it's using the theme you can change these right here you got themes available now this these themes look really old I definitely would like that they add new ones because these are I would say unusable unless your site is like really old and this looks Prett nice but they should really make something more modern for us to use use themes and just avoid changing colors and styles because it it already looks really nice in this in case it doesn't look nice so I think they really should work on that right you got tagra your settings it's using default but you have all the changes right there you can make the guest author do you want to enable that the advanced settings just for export import reset all and the most important one custom CSS in case you really want to modify this box it's a good idea all right but there you go that is simple author box I mean my opinion I think for the lifetime video if you want to have an author box that gives you flexibility of changes and making it look nicer this is a good idea idea but if it's not important to you I think you should definitely skip on this one this is just something like extra that you would like to see some of the themes that you already have might have these settings so basically you can skip on this one but if you want to have the flexibility of modifying your author box then do go ahead and check it out and don't forget that they have a 60-day money back guarantee in case you're not convinced just go ahead and refund it and if you plan to grab a hosting plan don't forget to use my coupon code sasm and that's a wrap for simple other box
