Author info in sidebar

Recommended Posts

Hi, Just discovered the Author info function in the template section. It links to the Buddypress profile page of the author. Just what I am looking for. However, it can only be displayed on the content section of a single page. I would like to display it on the sidebar. How can I achieve that? Currently I use a plugin, but I would like to save on plugins, as I already have many...

I seriously doubt that you can force something intended for a content area into a sidebar. In this case, I just believe this goal is unattainable.

Just to share. Now I am using the Bowes shortcode plugin: http://bp-tricks.com/buddpress-shortcodes-plugin/. Together with custom fields this plugin provides a great way to integrate Buddypress with PP.

Yeah, that's a good idea... you can pull the value of a custom field (or other elements of a query) outside of the loop. You just have to have the right code.
