This shortcode allows you to display any author meta data from the current post author if no attributes are provided or the name of a given author if you provide the author ID and author type.<\/p>\n

It can be used anywhere within WordPress where shortcodes are supported. For most users, this will primarily be within the content of a WordPress post or page or the sidebar.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The trivial shortcode would be:<\/p>\n

Editor input<\/p>

[molongui_author_meta key=twitter]<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n
