Its not rendering because the $Item object is empty for some reason.
First this widget can only be used within the context of a Post/Item. For example in the "Item Single" container. It cannot be used in a sidebar.
Then I think the widget has a bug. We'll check.
Hi Francois,
I've tried placing it in all available containers including Item Single container.
Question: Can I add the entire script of the about_author_widget directly into the skin class and just call it insie the single/post container?
Ok, that widget actually works.
Hi Francois,
After playing around the solution that you provided, here's what I found.
***the about author plugin placed in the item single container only works on the default bootstrap blog skin.
The about author won't work on the following skins
(1) business
(2) cuboid
(3) horizon
I think, there are lines of codes in these skins that needs to be altered/added for the plugin to work.
Please upload FULL screenshot of backoffice screen that shows your containers and the widgets you places into them.
