Author Profile Blocks

Author Profile Blocks is a modern WordPress plugin that allows you to display user profiles in various layouts using Gutenberg blocks. It’s perfect for showcasing team members, contributors, authors, or any WordPress users you want to feature on your website.

Unlike other plugins, Author Profile Blocks leverages your existing WordPress users rather than creating a separate custom post type. This means you can showcase all your site contributors without duplicating content.
