No bug Author Bio Styling / Adding Character to Separate Date and Author

I would like to add some CSS to create a frame and grey box around the author's bio. How do I do this and also in a way that is not overwritten when the extension is updated. (see screenshots)

I would also like to add a character to separate the author and date at the top of a post so that it looks like this:

Written by: Author Name | Published: Date

Hi,
so these are two questions that both can be handled by css:
  1. css styling of the author info box
  2. adding / changing the output (so adding the | to the display)
as for styling in general: styling is done via CSS. ochBlog comes out of the box with basic css styling, so does your template. Now the template normally (usually) has two main css styling 'options'.
1. the styling for the template (which is 'fixed' for the template, 2. a way to add custom css to the page.

When you use the custom css for the template, then you are sure that ochBlog (or any other component) will not overwrite it when there is a new version: that is because you didn't change the ochBlog css files.

So question here is: does your template have a way to add custom CSS?

if it does, then you can add e.g.:
Code:
.ochblog-authorinfo-container {   background: #ccc;   padding: 5px;   border: 1px solid; }

for the | between the authorname and dat you can add the following css:
Code:
.articleinfo div.writtenby a::after {   content: " |"; }

Let me know if this works for you. Note the css I provided is for proof of concept, you should style yourself :)

We are using a template that provides for a custom css override. Added our styling and everything looks great now. Thanks again.
