    Hi there, I would like to migrate to this plugin from Co-Authors Plus as this one seems to be a lot better. Do you know if I will lose all of my existing multi-author posts and will have to recreate them? Is there a migration guide? Thanks!

    Hi @wireduk,

    Thanks for reaching out! And thanks for willing to use our plugin instead of that other one. Each plugin handles authorship data differently, so yes, if you activate our plugin and deactivate the Co-Authors Plus plugin, those multi-author posts you have now, will become single author posts.

    If you feel comfortable using the WP-CLI, we can provide a tool to migrate from Co-Authors Plus. The tool has no interface – it is just a CLI tool. And it only deals with authors who are actual users (no guest authors).

    If you have just a few multi-author posts, it might be better to just go edit those few posts and add the authors.

    Please let me know if you want use to share the CLI tool with you.

    Thanks for that @molongui, I am comfortable with WP-CLI so that guide would be fantastic!

    Great! Please open a support ticket with us using this form and we will share the tool with you via email.

    Anyone reading this can proceed alike to get the WP-CLI tool.
