The Fancier Author Box plugin is used to add detailed author biography with links to your social media networks to your posts, pages and custom post types.
Here’s an example of what the Fancier Author Box looks like below a post:

Troubleshooting
Some themes have their own author box coded into the theme. On these themes the Fancier Author box displays above the theme’s author box. The theme’s author box can be removed by adding CSS using the Custom CSS plugin.
Please contact Edublogs support if you need assistance using the Custom CSS plugin to hide the author box.
