## Descripción

**RWC Author Status** is a powerful WordPress plugin that allows authors to display
and update their status on their posts. Whether you’re a blogger, contributor, or
a multi-author website owner, this plugin enhances engagement by letting authors
share updates, thoughts, or availability directly within their posts.

### What’s new in version 2.0

With version 2.0, we have introduced several new features, including:

– AJAX-powered status updates,
 – **[/] Shortcode** support, – Customizable display
options, and – An intuitive admin settings panel.

You can now choose where to display the author status—before or after the post content—
or insert it manually using the **[/] Shortcode**.

### 🔥 Key Features

✅ **[/] Shortcode Support** – Easily display author status anywhere using `[wp-
author-status]`.
 ✅ **AJAX-Powered Updates** – Update author status dynamically
without reloading the page. ✅ **Auto & Manual Insertion** – Choose whether to display
the author status automatically or place it manually via **[/] Shortcode**. ✅ **
Choose where to display** – Display the author status either before or after the
content. ✅ **Customizable Display** – Show or hide the author’s name, post count,
gravatar, and time since status update. ✅ **Background Color Options** – Select
from five different background colors for a visually appealing look. ✅ **Admin 
Settings Page** – Effortlessly manage all author status options from a dedicated
settings panel. ✅ **Widget Support** – Add the **[/] Shortcode** inside a widget
to display the author status in the sidebar or footer of single post. ✅ **Customizable
Status Updates** – Authors can easily set and update their statuses from their dashboard.

### 📌 Adding the [/] Shortcode in a Widget

To show the author status in a widget-ready area like the Sidebar or Footer, follow
these steps:

1️⃣ **Classic Widget Editor:**

 * Navigate to **Appearance  Widgets** in your WordPress dashboard.
 * Drag and drop a **Text** or **Custom HTML** widget into your desired widget area.
 * Paste the **[/] Shortcode** `[wp-author-status]` inside the widget and save.

2️⃣ **Block Widget Editor:**

 * Navigate to **Appearance  Widgets** in your WordPress dashboard.
 * Add a **[/] Shortcode** block to your preferred widget area.
 * Paste the **[/] Shortcode** `[wp-author-status]` and save.

🚨 **Note:** To ensure proper display, add the **[/] Shortcode** inside the **Single
Post Sidebar**.

### 📌 [/] Shortcode Attributes

The `[wp-author-status]` **[/] Shortcode** includes two optional attributes: `status`
and `colors`.

👉 **`status` Attribute**

 * The `status` attribute allows you to override the saved author status and display
   a custom message.
 * If the `status` attribute is used, the **[/] Shortcode** will display the provided
   text.
 * If omitted, it will fetch and display the saved author status from the database(
   or show a placeholder if no status is available).

👉 **`colors` Attribute**

 * If you include the `colors` attribute, the **[/] Shortcode** will display the
   author status with the chosen color combination.
 * The available color combinations are:
    – bp – Blue, Purple – tb – Teal, Blue –
   gy – Green, Yellow – dp – Dark Purple, Light Purple – db – Dark Blue, Light Blue
 * If the `colors` attribute is omitted, the default color combination (Blue, Purple)
   will be used.

### 📌 How to Insert the [/] Shortcode in Single Posts (If Automatic Insertion is Disabled)?

By default, RWC Author Status can automatically display the author status before
or after the post content. However, if automatic insertion is disabled, you can 
manually insert the **[/] shortcode** inside your single post template.

🔹 **Method 1: Add the [/] Shortcode in the Post Content**

 * Simply paste the following **[/] Shortcode** inside any post where you want to
   display the author status:
    `[wp-author-status]`

🔹 **Method 2: Add the [/] Shortcode in the Theme Files**

 * If you want to display the author status inside your `single.php` template, add
   the following PHP code where you want the status to appear:
    `<?php echo do_shortcode('[
   wp-author-status]'); ?>`

This ensures that the author status appears on all single post pages without relying
on automatic insertion.

### 🎯 Who Can Benefit from RWC Author Status?

– **Bloggers & Writers** – Share quick updates, thoughts, or availability status
with your audience.
 – **Multi-Author Websites** – Helps readers stay updated on
their favorite authors’ latest activities. – **News & Media Sites** – Allow journalists
and content creators to engage with readers dynamically. – **Membership & Community
Sites** – Users can showcase their latest thoughts or announcements.

### Usage

    status before or after post content (configurable in settings).
