To change the biography text for each author, go to Administrator >> Users >> Management >> find your users and edit them. In the User Profile tab >> About Me field, you can add the text for each author.

In Joomla Core, there isn't a built-in component or section for managing ratings. You can enable and disable them by going to System >> Manage >> Plugins and finding Vote. This is the plugin that enables article ratings.

Thank you very much for the reply. Much appreciated.

Could you also please advise on how to control the image of the author?

Thank you

If you've installed our quickstart, you can go to Components >> Contacts >> Contacts and you'll see six contacts in the Authors category. They're all linked to the Super User (for demonstration purposes only). On a live site, you should link each of these contacts to a different user. For example, if you have three editors, then only keep three contacts in the Authors category. You can delete or deactivate the others to link new ones if your editors continue to grow.

To change each author's image, edit the contact (the contact must have the real name, as suggested in the demo) and select the image. From the Display tab, you can add social media links if you wish; otherwise, remove the social media icon classes that come with the demo. Finally, your authors will appear on a page like this: demo.unitemplates.com/goodnews/index.php/authors . When you access each author's page, you'll see their details and articles.
