Advanced usage

You can force it to display on other pages such as category pages via the ‘profwid_confirm_display’ filter as shown below.

/*
 * Filter for displaying "Profile Widget" plugin on category pages
 * Modifies the result of the is_single() check to allow for categories as well
 * 
 * This functionality is abnormal since categories typically have more than one author, and therefore
 * the profile widget would usually not be desired on the categories page.
