Overview

Author Box Plus is a lot more than just an Author box. If you have a blog and are dealing with multiple authors on your blog, this plugin will add some exciting features for you.
It will let you enable or disable an author from putting a link back on their names. The admin will be able to enable a link to the authors so they can have their own page on your domain (http://yourdomain.com/author/user-name).

When you enable the link for the authors, it will be linked to their personal author page like above. Authors can then design their own page with the default template and have their Bio, social media profiles and recent posts displayed on this page.
This will be in addition to the author box which displays underneath each post.
