Hello,
Currenty i am using one author bio plugin "Easy Author Box" but in this plugin if i enter any guest post then the user must need to register in wordpress and then in the wordpress profile you must need to author bio and then only it shows in the plugin display page.
But i am looking for a plugin which will give me the option to insert the Author bio while posting the guest post like the article body.

If anyone knows about such kind plugin then it will be a great help for me.

Thanks!
Himadri

    Author Bio is entered in the profiles page. Once you fill it up, it will output that everytime on the post page (you need to put the right codes for this).

    I don't understand why you want to type it out for each post, unless one author will be posting only one content.

    However, you can use custom fields for this.

    I've seen it working even on present WP versions... but you should test it, of course.
    It lets you add 7 different signatures (bio or whatever).

    I agree with both Istvan and schwarzes.
    The DDSig plugin by Dagon Design recommended by Istvan does work in v3.5, although there are 2 deprecated functions they are fairly minor (for now) and the plugin does work.

    As schwarzes mentioned, it seems easier to just pull info from a profile.

    You did say you didn't want to have the guest author register, which is cool to maintain total control, but you can just create the profile yourself and make up a dummy email (john@yoursite.com, willie@yoursite.com), it doesn't matter if they exist, and uncheck the box to send email. They don't even need to know about or have that info.
    Regardless of the method you choose, you do still have to enter the info somewhere....might as well be a new profile that only you control.

    I do this on several sites I have. There are multiple profiles/authors, but they are controlled and created by me so I get the manual input control.

    This would allow you to use a much more powerful plugin like the wp biographia

    Just an idea...

    Not necessarily...
    (rant: in the many hours between the posts suggesting solutions and now you could have tested quite a number of plugins, so that you could see with your own eyes how they work!)

    Actually the problem right now with my blog is, i have more than 500 posts and most of them are guest posts and for most of the posts i did not create any account for that guest blgger. Just posted the articles with my admin account.

    In the article body there is also one author bio line for that guest blogger. But below that line the author bio plugin is showing where it is displaying my name which is very odd.

    You can check it here

    Now can you suggest me how can i fix the problem? How can i make author bio for each blogger without removing the post? What is the optimized solution?

    The plugin I linked to... lets you create 7 bio/signatures WITHOUT creating user profiles.
    That's why I said test it, instead of asking endless questions.

    But you will still need to edit ALL the articles: that's the price when we start thinking too late

    Suggestions?
    Read the instructions...

    Download the above file, rename it from .txt to .php, and upload it to your plugins directory.
    Enable the plugin.
    Configure the plugin options (under DDAddSig).
    Test it out by viewing a post.
    e.g. right-click > save link as or save target as... then follow ^^

    @Istvan Horvath....though i did not get any solution using your way but right now i am able to add multiple author under same profile. I have installed the plugin "Custom About AUthor" and it is working fine for me. I have also described the whole thing in my post "WordPress Plugin to Add Multiple Author Under Same Profile"
    I am sure that a lot of people who are having problem with this topic will get help from this post and this plugin. If you have any further information you can contact me via email.
