Author Bio Box in Oxygen

This members-only tutorial provides the steps to build an author bio section on single posts in Oxygen.

We shall

1. use a Code Block for displaying the author profile image since the built-in Oxygen method seems to be outputting only at a max dimensions of 96 x 96 plus and without utilizing the WordPress' srcset.
2. add custom user profile fields for Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram.
3. load and use the individual social icons generated from Fontello and display them conditionally i.e., only if the corresponding user field has been filled.
4. use the User Design Library feature to import the entire author bio box section with just a few clicks.

Step 1

Let us add custom social fields in WordPress User Profile pages.
