Author Image [author-image] Shortcode

The ‘author-image’ shortcode from the sem-author-image plugin is used to display the image of the author. It calls the function ‘shortcode_callback’ which in turn invokes ‘the_author_image()’.

Shortcode: [author-image]

Examples and Usage

Basic example – Display the author’s image using the ‘author-image’ shortcode without any parameters.

[author-image /]

Advanced examples

Display the author’s image with a specific size. In this case, we are using the ‘size’ parameter to specify the image size. The value of ‘size’ can be either a string keyword (thumbnail, medium, large or full), or a 2-item array representing width and height in pixels, respectively.

[author-image size="medium" /]

Display the author’s image with a specific alignment. Here, we are using the ‘align’ parameter to specify the image alignment. The value of ‘align’ can be either ‘left’, ‘center’, or ‘right’.

[author-image align="center" /]

Display the author’s image with a custom CSS class. In this example, we are using the ‘class’ parameter to add a custom CSS class to the image.

[author-image class="custom-class" /]

Combining multiple parameters. You can also combine multiple parameters to customize the author’s image display as per your requirements. In this case, we are specifying both the size and alignment of the image.

[author-image size="large" align="left" /]
