How can I form a blog author page?

Store Design

Topic summary

Goal: create a blog author page in Shopify.

  • Staff response: requested more details on desired content/layout and suggested third‑party landing page builder apps (PageFly, Buildify) to create separate author profile pages with related posts and clickable links. Encouraged checking the App Store and contacting app developers for setup help. (Landing page builders are drag‑and‑drop tools for designing custom pages.)

  • Counterpoints: participants argue an author page should be built using Shopify’s native store settings, not external apps. They express concern about installing an app for a single page and potential store instability.

  • Outcomes/decisions: none. No native, step‑by‑step method was provided.

  • Status: discussion is ongoing with disagreement over app‑based vs. built‑in solutions.

  • Open questions: how to build a blog author page using only Shopify’s built‑in features; what specific author content and article listings should appear on the page.

Hi, @laurilawliet !

Thanks for reaching out in our Community forums and for sharing your concern, I’d be happy to help.

I understand that you would like to create a blog author page, this is a great idea to show the author profile and information. I’d love to know more details regarding your requirements. For instance, What type of content would you like on this page? Are you looking to have the blog author page filled with their related blog articles? Feel free to share more information and I could provide a more tailored solution.

In the meantime, we do have a few applications that may be of interest to you. Firstly, you can check out the PageFly Landing Page Builder app that allows you to create separate pages to show author profiles and related blog posts. You can also show a clickable image or text of that author to link to the profile page. Alternatively, you can check out the Buildify Landing Page Builder that offers similar functionality with drag-and-drop widgets to customize your blog pages.

Feel free to check out our App Store for other available apps that may be suitable for your business. If you have any questions about the apps, or need a hand setting them up, feel free to reach out to the developers directly as they could provide some more information.

I’d also love to know more about your content and business! What type of blogs are you posting and how are you promoting them?

Feel free to reply back to this thread with any questions or updates and we can continue our conversation further!

This answer doesn’t’ help much. Author blog page should be built in Shopify store settings. I don’t need to add new application to create one page and be at the risk that my store will be collapsed.

The Shopify Staff doesn’t usually help much with these issues, they usually limit themselves to recommending an app. They don’t help much so far.
