Active Installs

18/30

At 10,000 active installs it is a mid-tier plugin, far behind the 200,000-install alternatives listed, but not obscure.

Update Freshness

25/25

Updated within the current WordPress 6.9.4 compatibility window and actively maintained, earning a perfect maintenance score.

User Rating

14/15

A 90 out of 100 average from 8 ratings is solid, though the small sample size means the number should be read with some caution.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads opened and zero resolved gives no real signal either way, so the support health score sits at a middling default.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Requires PHP 7.4 and WordPress 5.3+, which is reasonable, and it is confirmed tested against the latest WordPress release.

What It Does

VK Post Author Display appends a small author information box to the bottom of single post pages, showing details like the author's name, avatar, and bio. It is designed as a lightweight, single-purpose tool with no broader page-building or profile features. Setup is minimal and the output is inserted automatically after the post content.

Who It's For

This plugin suits multi-author blogs and small publications that want a quick, low-effort way to credit writers and add a personal touch at the end of each article. It is a good fit for sites that do not want to install a heavier author box or membership plugin just to display basic contributor info.

Who Should Skip It

Sites with only one author, or anyone already using a theme or SEO plugin that includes built-in author bio boxes, will get no extra value from this tool. It is also not the right choice if you need social links, custom layouts, or co-author support, since the feature set is intentionally narrow.

The Bottom Line

VK Post Author Display does one small job and does it with current WordPress compatibility and a strong rating, but the 10,000 installs and thin feature set mean it is a niche pick rather than an essential. It is worth considering for multi-author blogs that want a free, zero-config author box and nothing more.

Related Plugins

Post Duplicator 86/100

Choose this if your real need is cloning posts or pages rather than displaying author info, as it solves a completely different problem.

Post Type Switcher 86/100

Pick this when you need to reassign content between post types, not for author presentation, so it is not a functional substitute.

Header and Footer Scripts 85/100

Useful only if you want to inject custom code site-wide, which can complement but does not replace a dedicated author box plugin.

Reveal IDs 83/100

Pick this for admin-side ID visibility and quick editing, not for any frontend author display functionality.

WP Meta and Date Remover 82/100

Choose this if you actually want to hide author and date metadata, which is the opposite goal of VK Post Author Display.
