This very simple plugin allows multiple authors to be assigned to a Post or Page.
In admin panel, when you add or edit a post or page you can:
-
specify additional authors, by selecting and adding them in the “Co-authors” panel. (See Screenshots #1)
-
put the shortcode “[sp-authors]” to display the list of co author’s links separated by comma.
When the post/page is displayed to user:
- you can see the list using the shortcode that can be added in the add post page
In any template:
-
you can user the template-tag “sp_authors_display” to show the list of coauthors “display_name”, separated by comma
-
you can user the template-tag “sp_authors_photos_display” to show the list of coauthors avatars
In search for author functionality:
- the search take in care all authors, no just the user who write the post/page
