Hi Serkan,

I need to be able to display/assign multiple authors to posts, so I installed the Co-Authors Plus plugin. However, the multiple author names aren’t showing up on the frontend. Is there some code available to make them visible, not only on the post page itself but also on the blog roll on the homepage?

Thank you!!

Haley

Hi,
Could you provide me your related url, please?
We haven’t tested our themes with that plugin. We can’t provide support for third-party plugins, but still, I would like to help you if there is an easy solution for it. If not, you may contact to the plugin author.
Thanks

Thank you! I really appreciate you looking into this.

Hi Haley,
In the blog section of the homepage, there are different author names on blog posts. Where exactly do you want to be shown?

[hblum]

Hi Serkan,

Yes, this is a blog that has different contributors — not all posts are written by the same person. I am looking for the ability to show that a single, individual post has two or three authors — that those people have written the post together. So it would be multiple people on the byline of one post.

Thanks!

Hi, I will forward this topic to our developer and I will keep you updated.

That would be great. Thank you!

Hi Serkan,

Checking it see if you and your developer have had any luck with this issue. Thank you!

Hi Haley,
The developer told me that it is not possible by default. You can use a plugin for this feature but we haven’t tested it.
http://www.wpexplorer.com/wordpress-author-management-plugins/
Here is the list of the plugins. I hope one of them will solve your issue.
Thank you for your understanding.

Dang. It’s so crazy that there’s no easy way to display multiple authors on the same single blog post on WordPress. I have tried Co-Authors Plus, but I have no idea how to write the necessary template tags for multiple names to show up. (https://vip.wordpress.com/documentation/incorporate-co-authors-plus-template-tags-into-your-theme/) The plugin doesn’t work unless you know how to do that.

None of the other plugins offers what I need. Thank you, though!

Hi Haley,
I would recommend you to contact to co-authors plus plugin’s author for this issue.
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/co-authors-plus
I am sorry that I could not help you in this matter anymore. Because WordPress does not support this by default.
Thanks for your understanding.

[hblum]

The support for the plugin is awful. But it’s OK, I’ll have to figure something else out.

Thanks, Serkan. I do really appreciate your help!

[serkan]

You are welcome. Have a nice day.

Hi hblum,

Were you ever able to resolve this issue? I’ve been battling this for sometime too but haven’t gotten to any solution.

Best,
Salman

Hi Salman,
Have you contacted the related plugin’s support forum, yet?

[salmanrana]

Hi Serkan,
Yes I have but no response and this has become critical to my website at this point

[serkan]

Hi Salman,
The feature you want is a special request that is not in the theme. Since you’re having trouble with this, I asked you to ask for help on the support page of that plugin.

[salmanrana]

Hi Serkan,

Given the absence of the plugin developer’s responsiveness, are you saying there isn’t much you can do to help?

I appreciate you keeping up with this, Serkan.

Hi Salman,
I will forward this topic to our developers if there is anything we can do. I will keep you updated.
Thanks for your patience.

Serkan,

Thank you for doing that— I look forward to an update.

Hi, sorry to say that but this is not a feature on our update list, if more and more users ask for this feature we may re-consider this topic.

Thanks.
