Post Author

The current post's author — name and avatar, linked to their archive. Like every block in the library, it is a second authoring surface, not a second renderer: the canvas preview and the front end are produced by the same server-side code as the page builder, so the output is identical either way.

Options

Select the block and open the Settings (block) tab; the whole sidebar is generated from the element's option schema, so it stays in step with the page builder.

Option	What it does
Avatar + Name	Shows the author's avatar and display name, linked to their post archive.
Styling (text_color, font_size_preset, alignment)	Colour, size and alignment.

The block also opts into WordPress Margin / Padding (and, where it makes sense, alignment), which inherit the site's design system from theme.json.

:::note Reads the current post This block outputs data from the post in context, so it renders where a post is being viewed — a single post, or a post inside a query loop or template. On a plain page there is no post for it to read. :::

Sample content

A block stores only what you change as one upOptions object; the element's declared defaults fill in the rest at render time. The demo above is:

<!-- wp:unysonplus/post-author {"upOptions":{}} /-->
