We'll create fresh WordPress site with Author Spotlight (Widget) installed. You have 20 minutes to test the plugin after that site we'll be deleted.
Author Spotlight widget displays the profile of the author(s) with Social links (example: Twitter, Facebook) and his/her profile picture or Gravatar on any post or page that has an Author. The widget automatically detects the current author(s) of the displayed post or page; just drag and drop the widget on your sidebar and you are done.
To display a custom photograph with the Author’s Profile you may install the User Photo. In absence of this plugin the widget will fall-back to displaying the Gravatar associated with the user. If your posts have multiple authors you may use the Co-Authors Plus, the Author Spotlight will then display all the author profiles one below another for such post/page.
Note that installing the User Photo or Co-Author plugin is purely optional, this widget will work fine without them as well.
If you face any issues with the plugin or have any suggestion/feature requests please do so at the support forum.
