We hope this list will help you select the author bio box plugin that’s just right for you. All of the above plugins are tested for recent releases of WordPress and are free, with some being easier to use than others, but this user friendliness comes at a cost: those which are easiest to set up and use are usually lighter on the features side. So, if you are looking for a quick and simple solution, try WP Post Author, Simple Author Box or Author Bio box. If you are willing to invest the time in styling your author bio box, or if profile pictures are important to you and you want to bypass Gravatar, Starbox or Molongui are the ones you need to look into. If you are running a blog with a lot of guest authors and one-time contributors who do not have WordPress user accounts, try combining a plugin you like with Co-Authors Plus to give credit where credit is due. Finally, if you’re looking for a comprehensive, rich and all-around solution that will bring you so much more than just a way to display author bio, then Qi Blocks and Qi Addons are your thing.
