   If you want to create a template unique to a single author, specify the conditions by including the slug or ID of that particular author.
   
3. Once you’re in the SeedProd editor, drag and drop the Author Box block to display the author’s Image, Name, and Bio.

   If you prefer to show only the author’s bio, opt for the Author Bio block instead.
   
4. To showcase posts written by the author, drag the Posts block into the template. Under the block settings, make sure to select ‘Default‘ as the query type. This ensures that only the posts of the current author will be displayed.
   
5. Once you’re satisfied with the layout and settings, click “Save” or “Publish” to make your author template live.

Congratulations! You are now able to create customized author templates for your website.
