After you install the app, follow the four steps on the home screen to display author profiles on your online store.
Prerequisite: Use an Online Store 2.0 theme, and add the app block to the template for the page you want to display.
Before you start setup, confirm the following.
RuffRuff Author Profiles is installed
If you want to display authors on blog posts, at least one published blog post exists
If you want to display authors on products or pages, you are using the Regular plan
Open the theme editor for the target theme from the home screen, then add "Author Profiles" to the page you want to display.
(1) Open the theme editor
From Shopify admin, go to Apps and open "RuffRuff Author Profiles." Under "Select a theme" on the home screen, choose the target theme, then select "Access" next to the page you want to display. The theme editor opens.
(2) Add "Author Profiles"
In the left menu of the theme editor, select "Add block" or "Add section," then add "Author Profiles." Move it to the position you want, then select "Save" in the upper-right corner.
Limitation: Adding the app block to product and page templates is available on the Regular plan.
You can change the colors, layout, and profile image display later.
(1) Change the design
Open "Customize" from the app menu. Change the colors, layout, and profile image display, then select "Save."
Create the author profile you want to display.
(1) Open Authors
Open "Authors" from the app menu, then select "Add author."
(2) Enter the fields and save
Enter the author name and other fields, then select "Save."
Apply the author you created to content such as blog posts.
(1) Open the target content
Open "Blog posts" from the app menu, then select the target blog post.
(2) Apply the author
Select "Apply author," choose an author, and apply it.
To apply an author to a product or page, use the same steps from "Products" or "Pages." Products and Pages are available on the Regular plan.
If you select a theme that is not compatible with Online Store 2.0 on the home screen, a message appears that custom support is required. To use a vintage theme, contact us through the contact form.
To set this up manually from "App embeds" in the theme editor, see App Block vs. App Embed.
Check: Open the blog post, product, or page you applied an author to in the online store, and confirm that the profile appears.
If the above still does not solve the issue, contact us through the contact form.
When you contact us, include the following information.
The store's myshopify.com domain
The theme name you are using
