Open your functions.php file and paste the following code. That's all you have to do!
function get_author_bio ($content=''){
global $post;
$post_author_name=get_the_author_meta("display_name");
$post_author_description=get_the_author_meta("description");
$html="<div class='clearfix' id='about_author'>\n";
$html.="<img width='80' height='80' class='avatar' src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=".md5(get_the_author_email()). "&default=".urlencode($GLOBALS['defaultgravatar'])."&size=80&r=PG' alt='PG'/>\n";
$html.="<div class='author_text'>\n";
$html.="<h4>Author: <span>".$post_author_name."</span></h4>\n";
$html.= $post_author_description."\n";
$html.="</div>\n";
$html.="<div class='clear'></div>\n";
$content .= $html;
return $content;
}
add_filter('the_content', 'get_author_bio');
