Display a styled author bio box below single posts, with avatar, description, and social profile links.

== Description ==

Author Bio Box automatically appends (or prepends) a polished author card to single posts. It pulls the author's avatar, display name, and biographical description directly from their WordPress user profile. Each user can add Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram URLs from their profile page. The box can be hidden on individual posts via a meta box in the editor.

**Features**

* Auto-inserts below (or above) post content — configurable
* Pulls avatar via `get_avatar()` with configurable size
* Pulls biographical info from user profile
* Social links: Website, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram
* Per-post disable toggle (via editor sidebar meta box)
* Multi-post-type support
* Dark mode aware CSS
* No jQuery — zero JavaScript required
