does it support multi author blog?? cause im having multi author blog... cant use just one author bio...
@Em Ji MadhuYes it supports multi author blog for that you have to make following changes
When you generate the code from widget generator add these lines
Add this line <b:if cond='data:post.author == "Author1Name"'> at the start of the generated code and </b:if> at the end of the generated code.
Replace Author1Name with the first author name
For second author bio widget repeat the above process
