> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://docs.premsoft.de/llms.txt). Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://docs.premsoft.de/en/plugins/blog/create-and-edit-blog-posts/authors.md). # Authors Managed under **Administration → Content → Blog → Authors**. ## Fields * **First name** and **Last name** — together they make the display name. * **Email** — internal info, never shown publicly. * **Description** — bio text for the author detail page. Translatable. * **Profile image** — appears on the authors list, the detail page and on linked articles. ## In the shop ### Authors overview — `/blog/authors` A list view of every active author with photo, name and post count. The **A–Z filter bar** lets visitors narrow down authors by the first letter of their last name. Letters without authors render greyed-out so nobody clicks into an empty result. The layout of this page defaults to the bundled "Blog authors listing page (PremSoft)" and can be swapped for your own in the [Plugin configuration](/en/plugins/blog/create-and-edit-blog-posts/configuration.md). ### Author detail — `/blog/author/{name}` A profile area with photo, name and description. Next to it — in the sidebar — every active article by this author. The layout is also configurable in the plugin configuration. ## SEO URL Both pages get a speaking path built from first and last name, e.g. ``` /blog/author/max-doe ``` If you assigned an author category in the plugin configuration, the plugin additionally nests the author pages under that category — the breadcrumb then starts at that category's path. ## How many authors are allowed? * **Basic**: 1 author * **Advanced**: 5 authors * **Premium**: unlimited Authors above the limit remain in the database but aren't surfaced in the shop. ## Author elements Available on any Shopping Experience (e.g. a custom author detail page): * **Author name** — display name as a linked headline. * **Author image** — profile picture. * **Author description** — bio. * **A–Z filter** — filter bar for the authors overview. On article detail pages: * **Author card** — combined element with photo, name and bio excerpt. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.premsoft.de/en/plugins/blog/create-and-edit-blog-posts/authors.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
