Author Info

To display the author info in the content, select the Insert author info into content checkbox. Once you select this, additional options appear to customize as shown below :

  • Place username into content

  • Place bio into content

  • Place username and bio into content

Select Show in italics checkbox if you want the author info to be italicized.

Permissions

In this section, users can select the checkboxes below to adjust the profile permissions.

  • Don't allow users to edit the personal information in their profile - Used only in conjunction with Insert author info into content or When publishing to WordPress, set the CMS User's bio to be the same as the author's bio because it simply prevents the Kapost users to edit their personal information like the bio on their user profile in Kapost, thus preventing unwanted information to go over into a CMS like Wordpress.

  • On publish, always use the CMS User as the author - Whenever a user publishes to a CMS like Wordpress, Kapost will use the user connected in the App Center rather than the author/assignee of the content in Kapost.

Google Drive

In this section, users can adjust the settings and permissions related to Google Drive. To learn more, refer to Google Drive.

Publish Date

If When publishing a draft to WordPress, set the publish date to be the same as Kapost's publish deadline checkbox is selected and a draft is published to Wordpress and there is a workflow task with a task rule that says "Mark this task complete when the content is published", the publish date of the draft in Wordpress will be set to the deadline of respective task.

To learn more about Wordpress, refer to Integrate With WordPress.

Author Bio

If When publishing to WordPress, set the CMS User's bio to be the same as the author's bio checkbox is selected and a piece of content is published to Wordpress, Kapost will try and set the author's bio in Wordpress to the bio of the author/assignee of the content in Kapost.

Featured Image

The Remove featured image from content on publish checkbox must be selected only when the Wordpress theme of the connected Wordpress instance ends up duplicating the featured image after a piece of content has been published to Wordpress.
