Guest authors no longer showing

Also – I just tried adding the php snippet suggested and it hasn’t worked.

I have now rolled back PublishPress Authors to the previous version and it works again – so definitely an issue with the thing you changed in the latest version to do with guest authors. I have disabled auto update for PP Authors now, I hope you will fix it so I can update it in future!

Hi @kljhall

Thanks for using PublishPress.

Please try this update and let us know if it fixes the issue: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vgu0bhdzvsfgipa/publishpress-authors-3.14.3-beta.1.zip?dl=0v

This plugin no longer working for me either.. Author options do not show up on the right hand side of the screen when creating posts any more..

@brightonbeerblog Thanks for using PublishPress Authors.

“Doesn’t work” won’t get us far though. Please share as many specifics as you can.

– Does the update linked above help?
– Are you using a particular theme or page-builder?

@stevejburge
Hi Steve, yes that beta update seems to have worked fine, thanks! All my guest author content is showing as it should now with the right people in the right places ??

You know what, I think I was looking at the wrong post type. Have added different post types to the Author section and all now visible again in post editor.

Thanks for letting us know @brightonbeerblog and @kljhall

Hi @brightonbeerblog, @kljhall

We have a new package with a more reliable fix. Please, could you try it and let us know if it works?

@andergmartins Hi, I didn’t get a chance to try this out, but we had a critical error with the previous beta today so I updated to the latest genuine version, and now the bio and picture appears of the correct guest author, but not their name: https://thinkhealthyme.co.uk/offers/wellbeing-coaching-group/

@stevejburge @andergmartins I’ve had to revert back to 3.4.1 again as I got notification from WordPress that PublishPress Authors was breaking my site.
As I mentioned in my previous post, the new version also didn’t show the author’s name in the author box anyway.

I’m about to start testing a different site with PP Authors so I hope I don’t face these same issues ??

For me, Guest authors are also being overwritten by the wordpress author on save. I can get it to save the guest author in “Quick Edit” mode in the post list. But every time I edit a page the guest author disappears and the WP Author replaces it. (using plugin version 3.14.4)

Sorry, please don’t continue this thread, It’s a mess with different sites, different versions, and different issues.
