5 Free WordPress Author Bio Box Plugins

You have probably seen them on many blogs and web pages below an article or blog post! I am pretty sure you know I’m talking about a Author Bio box, right?

In many WordPress themes, both free and premium sometimes a built-in author bio box feature can be included. It depends entirely on the theme designer and creator. In our theme at WP Daily Themes the author bio box is built-in. Thanks Alexander.

If it’s not included in your theme, you can use WordPress plugins to create cool and stylish author boxes. Personally I think an author box with a description of the writer or author adds more value to an article.

In today’s article I have selected 5 free WordPress author bio box plugins that can present you and your co-authors in style. All the plugins are simple to setup. Some have more features and options, other more social network to choose from etc. A plugin that I think stand out a little bit is Simple Author Box. Do you use a plugin to display your author bio box?
