The way author information displays on your blog posts now has two options - and the new default is a significant step up from what was there before.

What's changed

You can now choose between two author layouts in your blog post settings. The Modern Preview is a new card-based design with a cleaner visual hierarchy, optimised for reader engagement. It is the default layout for all newly created blog posts. The Classic Preview retains the existing author layout for anyone who prefers to keep things as they are.

The Modern layout displays author information in a more structured format including profile image, author name, designation or role, bio, social media links, and email address. Long author bios are automatically condensed with a Read More option so the page layout stays clean. The new author section is fully responsive across desktop, tablet, and mobile.

To select your layout, go to Sites - Blogs, open Blog Post Settings, and choose your preferred Author Layout. Existing blogs will continue using their current layout unless updated manually.

Why it matters

Readers who can quickly see who wrote a post - with a clear bio and credentials - are more likely to trust the content and engage with it. A well-presented author section adds credibility to your blog without requiring any extra writing or design work.
