Authors

Add one profile per Joomla user under the Authors tab. The profile must match the article Created by user.

• Published (default: Yes): hide a profile without deleting it
• Joomla user (required): select the account that publishes articles
• Display name: optional override of the account name
• Role / Title: shown under the name (for example Editor or Founder)
• Photo: portrait from Media Manager
• Bio: short profile text (safe HTML allowed)
• Email / Phone / Website: optional contact details
• Social URLs: LinkedIn, X, Facebook, Instagram, GitHub, YouTube, Dribbble, TikTok, WhatsApp

If no profile exists and Require Profile is No, the box still shows the Joomla user name. Enable Gravatar Fallback when you want an avatar from email without uploading a photo.
