Most users get confused hearing the name of the block. They think the block will allow them to add a description of the author to be used as the Author Bio, but it will not.
The block is simply used as the heading or title of the author section, nothing more. So, according to me, it’s one of the valueless blocks in WordPress.
Still, I will show you how to use the Author Biography block in WordPress, as I promised to cover all the blocks in pressberg.com.
