## Descrizione

When running [WordPress Multisites](https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network)
to maintain various top level domains or a multilingual version of your site you
might probably run into the problem of having the same author description / biography
on each of them.

This is unfortunate not only on multilingual sites.

Long story short, this plugin enables you to enter the author biography for each
user on a per-blog basis.

You don’t have to do anything, but to install and activate the plugin and to enter
the author bio into through the dashboard(s) of your site(s).

Please visit the github repository on https://github.com/webzunft/multisite-individual-
author if you want to contribute, post a specific feature request or bug report.

**Some things site admins and developers might want to know:**

 * the plugin only works when multisite support is enabled
 * the biography is saved using a custom profile field for each blog with the pattern‘
   ima_description_BLOGID’, e.g. _img\_description\_3_
 * the filter get_the_author_description is used to load the “right” description;
   this is used by the`_author_meta()` and `get_the_author_meta()` functions

## Installazione

 1. Upload the folder `individual-multisite-author` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the IMA through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

You will now see an additional field for the author description when you visit the
author profile.
 This field is individual for each blog, so make sure you first 
login to the right dashboard when changing the authors bio for a specific site in
your multisite environment.

Unfortunately so many plugins are a mess because they try to do everything and don
´t follow standards. As such I have had to write literally 100s for my own needs,
some of which I have releaed in thsi repository. So it is refeshing when I find 
a plugin like this that does only one thing, does its well,a and does so without
taking over wp-admin in some way. Great work

This is a simple and effective plugin, great for my WordPress multisite network.
Allowing the authors to display custom author bio for each subsite. Wonderful. Thanks.
