Testimonials The plugin is easy to use (use as a widget, shortcode, or template tag) and customize to your individual needs – and because it’s so nice, you may even persuade more people to become authors! ~AJ Clarke, WPExplorer
I got this after downloading another author box plugin that had vulnerable code. I went through the code on this plugin and I have to say – Well done!
Great code, intuitive and efficient and a big up to you for using apply_filters so other plugins can manipulate the order of the tabs. Great work, good clean code. ~Andy Bailey, CommentLuv
As Executive Editor of Gaming Illustrated, I’d been looking for a proper writer’s bio plugin for quite a while, not settling for the low-grade freebies available.
Having found the ‘Fanciest Author Box’ plugin, I can say not only were my requirements met but totally exceeded with both its feature set and customizability.
It was amazingly easy to install and configure, looked gorgeous, and made both my writers and readers more excited about visiting our site. Now my writers can get more of the attention they deserve. ~Sean, Gaming Illustrated
