# WordPress Functions adding Author Box?

 * I’m new to wordpress and I was able to customize this plugin a little but now
   I’m trying to add the author box below the posts. When I try and use the code
   below it throws error saying the functions are not found. How do I include the
   path to the wordpress functions. Is this something to do with my template?

       <div class="about-author">
