Hi.
I’ve just changed from co-authors-plus to Public Press Authors.
Works just fine, except for one little change.

When a user, who is a co-author of a post, selects a post type, all posts of this type shows up.
But it’s not possible to select ‘Mine’. This worked with co-authors-plus.
Only the user set as the user publishing the post, can select ‘Mine’.
I’ve checked several options, but not found one that would allow the co-author to select ‘Mine’.

Any solutions?

Hi,

When an author bio field is updated by an author in BuddyPress xprofiles, this bio is automatically synced in WordPress as the user’s profile. This is not replicated in PublishPress.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

I have recently installed the plugin and have two difficulties:

• How to prevent my own box (as the one with admin role) from showing?
• PPA does not update bios when they are modified in WP (profiles are first created in BuddyPress in my use case).

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

I do not find where to translate the word “author” to Spanish in the Author URL.

I have the latest wordpress in Spanish (6.6.2). I also checked the word with Loco Translate plugin and it seems it is translated in your plugin and in wordpress.

So, where else can I see how to change this URL?

Now it is https://certificadoele.com/author/pilar-valero/

But I want it to be: https://certificadoele.com/autor/pilar-valero/

I created the author archive template and the category archive template with oxygen. The category UR seems ok, with the name in spanish, as you can see, but the author URL is not.

https://certificadoele.com/categoria/formacion-profesores-espanol/

So, is this related with your plugin somehow?

Thanks in advace,

Gabriela

Hi, when I use your plugin, post’s authors from default wordpress editor are selectable but not visible to frontend.

Only way to show them is to deactivate Publish press

Hi

I added the Author box gutenberg block to a page, and I have 3 Authors

But the Author box shows only one Author – how can it show all authors?

I’m using this free plugin, from now can’t change the user name. When I change the Author name on backend It still showing the creator name, not the changed Author name. Also not found coauthor option.

Hi! Firstly, thank you for your time. I’ve gone through various topics but couldn’t resolve the issue on my own. The problem is that, after changing the page’s author via the plugin settings, the author section isn’t updating with the new name. It seems similar to the issue discussed here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/author-fields-wont-change/page/2/, but since that topic was closed without a resolution, I couldn’t apply it.

I’ve tried deactivating the plugin after changing the author, and this did successfully update the page’s default author. However, when reactivating the plugin, the issue reappears as described before. I’m using the Elementor plugin on WP 6.6.2 with the latest version of PP Author.

Thank you for your time!

Hello,

I installed the plugin and then uninstalled it, but when I wanted to reinstall it, I couldn’t because I got this error message preventing me from doing so:

Installation failed: Unable to copy file. publishpress-authors/lib/vendor/publishpress/instance-protection/core/Autoloader.php

Can you tell me how to solve this problem?

thank you

I’m getting below error after upgrading the plugin to the latest version.

An error of type E_ERROR was caused in line 24 of the file /srv/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/publishpress-authors/src/core/Plugin.php. Error message: Trait “MultipleAuthors/Traits/Author_box” not found

Current plugin: PublishPress Authors (version 4.7.2)
PHP version 8.2.24

When i enable create author pages i get this errors. I have even disabled all major plugins:

Hello Support.

I’ve just noticed that if you include an author’s email address it remains unprotected from spam with a plain mailto:theaddress.ext visible in the source. I’m using Cleantalk which at present does not protect the author boxes. Would it be possible to include support for email encoding ?

There are some layout issues in the backend that are preventing interaction with some fields (and therefore settings) as shown in the image above.

When using the WordPress query parameter “author__in” together with your plugin, WordPress only returns posts where the given author is mentioned first in the list of multiple authors.

That is, if a post has “Alfred” and “Ben” set as authors (in that order), a query with author_in set to “Ben” will not return that post, but will return it if author__in is set to “Alfred”.
If the order of the authors are swapped, so it is “Ben” and “Afred”, the opposite will be the case, queries with author__in set to “Ben” will return the post, and author_in set to “Alfred” will not.

This is a problem when using third party plugins like FacetWP, since it relies on making queries with author__in, and thus will return results based on the order the authors has been added to the posts (mistakenly ignoring those where the author in query is not set as the first author).

Is this a bug that can be fixed, or a feature that there is some kind of work around for? Or is your plugin just not compatible with third party plugins like FacetWP?

Thank you.

I saw this post from about a year ago: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/author-email-field-wont-disable/ that addresses turning off of the email icon (or not in her case). The pics show a tab with “meta”. I don’t even see that tab, but would like to remove the email link as well (just as she did). Where is that now located?

When I make a change to an Author Box and click Update, the changes take place in the preview, but when the design form reloads, everything that was edited goes right back to the default setting, so if one more change was to be made and Update was clicked, everything else would revert back. How do we keep the edits reflected in the design forms? For example, if I uncheck the box that says “Show Box Title” and update, the template will update, but when the page reloads after saving, the box will be checked again automatically. Same with everything… they go back to the defaults.

Hello!

There is an issue with the output of Author name in Author archive page’s HTML Title.

The issue exists on several sites (the example above is just a staging site to reproduce the error), but this issue doesn’t appear on a clean WP installation. It appears that there is a conflict with All in One SEO plugin. Here is a support ticket https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/the-authors-name-is-missing-from-author-page-title/

We’ve discovered that disabling the PublishPress plugin resolves the issue. I was unable to find any settings of PublishPress Authors that disables it’s enforced changes to the SEO Title tag.

Please help to resolve the issue. AlI in One SEO support wrote that if the PublishPress Authors team have any questions for their Development team they would be more than happy to help.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, thank you for the great plugin!

I have a problem with creating authors’ pages. Unfortunately, when I created a custom layout in Divi Theme Builder for author archive, and enabled the plugin, the archive stopped displaying the posts. If I turn off, it shows the author’s posts. I can record a video if you wish.

Thanks for your support!

I want to add an avatar, author name, social media links, and possibly even minutes to read at the BEGINNING of the post. Here is an example of what I would like it to look like: https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/24/health/fauci-west-nile-virus/index.html

Is it possible with this plug-in? How exactly can I do this in WordPress?

Hi, I have some code to set the author for a post. It works fine when your plugin is not installed or activated, but doesnt work when your plugin is active.

The code is:

$arg = array('ID' => $post->ID,'post_author' => $id,);
wp_update_post( $arg );

Is there a way to set or change the author(s) of a post, from within PHP, that works when your plugin is active?

Thank you.

Hey there, we are having an issue related to posts that have multiple authors.

When we click into an author, to see all posts by said author, we get a page full of his works.

However, because the first posts contains multiple authors, the page displays ONE OF THE OTHER AUTHORS names atop the page… Very strange… Not sure where to correct such a thing?

Hi,

I want to know if you send a payment invoice with VAT number.

Hi!

I was wondering if it was possible in any way to automatically add an author to the authors list if they do edits to a post. Basically the moment they press on publish.

Thank you for your help!

Hi, I am trying to modify a WordPress query to return posts where a given user is among the authors.

I would expect it to work with:

$args = array(
  'author__in'     => $authors,
  );

That works fine for posts with only one author, but if multiple authors is assigned to a post, it only returns those where the author is mentioned first (in the list of multiple authors of the post).

Please advice how to modify the query to get all posts where a given author is assigned.

Thank you.

So, I’m having issues with the page users are brought to when clicking on a guest authors name on the posts they have written. Originally when I installed this plugin, it all worked as intended. Clicking on an authors name brought the user to a page with all of the posts they are tagged in on the site.

Just recently, maybe within the last couple months, this has changed. Now, no matter who the post says is the author, clicking on that authors name at the top of the post brings the user to one singular author page, that of Timothy Murphy (the founder of the site and the only author registered outside of the guest author plugin). Going to the link and clicking on “Greg Moore” will show the issue.

I’ve gathered from other posts on this forum that maybe shortcode is my solution to this, because my website theme is not gathering information from the plugin, but have read through the list of available shortcodes and am not entirely sure which would solve my issue.

Help would be greatly appreciated!

Very excited about moving to this plugin from CAP, because that plugin’s lack of support has held up keeping the rest of the site updated and secure. On our staging environment, I am attempting to migrate from Co-Authors Plus (the free version now, but happy to support the paid if this works.) I have started the Copy, per directions after installation multiple times, and it never gets past 1%. There is no indications or data that I can see why it wouldn’t succeed. Thank you.

Hey, when opening up “Autoren” it only shows the ID of the different authors but not their name etc. (see here https://ibb.co/fd4qVNB) as in the wordpress-default section (https://ibb.co/vjCd7nX). How can the Names and all the other information be shown?

And where is it best to add a new author, in the plugin or in the default section?

Thanks for your work!

Hi, I have a post with multiple authors added through your plugin.

When I call the get_multiple_authors, it returns an array of the correct size, but only the first element contains data, the following elements (the other authors) do not contain any data except the term_id.

How can I get the ID or meta-data of the other authors apart from the first?

Thank you,
Soren

I’m trying to create staff pages for all of my writers. I just started my webpage so there isn’t much content. However, I still want to display author bios in my author archive pages. I have it working for an author with an associated post (https://carberrymagazine.com/author/victor-chang/)

However, no bio is displayed for my authors who haven’t posted yet. Example: https://carberrymagazine.com/author/ariella-reynolds/ though this issue occurs for all authors who haven’t posted yet.
