How to Enable Genesis Author Boxes Automatically for ALL Users

In Genesis there are two ways to do this: there is the direct filter or the simple function call. Calling the function calls the filter, so either way the filter is being called.

To enable the Author Box you can add the following to your functions.php file.
[php]
// Enable Author Box on Single/Archive pages
add_filter( 'get_the_author_genesis_author_box_single', '__return_true' );
add_filter( 'get_the_author_genesis_author_box_archive', '__return_true' );
[/php]

Or, the Genesis way to do this is:
[php]
// Enable Author Box on Single/Archive pages
genesis_enable_author_box();
genesis_enable_author_box( array( 'type' => 'archive' ) );
[/php]
