My expansion of Daniel’s code is:
/**
* Co-authors in RSS and other feeds
* /wp-includes/feed-rss2.php uses the_author(), so we selectively filter the_author value
*/
function db_coauthors_in_rss( $the_author ) {
if ( !is_feed() || !function_exists( 'coauthors') ){
#return coauthors__echo( null, null, null, null, false );
return $the_author;
}
else{
#return "hey hey hey";
return coauthors( null, null, null, null, false );
}
}
add_filter( 'the_author', 'db_coauthors_in_rss');I’ll post any updates here; https://warrengroom.com/wordpress-help/co-authors-wordpress-rss-feeds/
I hope that this helps. Thanks, Daniel 
My question is, since the comma is used as a delimiter between authors, how do I add suffixes after a person’s name. For instance: John Smith, MD, PhD
This adds the degrees as separate authors and places them in the wrong order. I tried adding the commas using the HTML code, but this didn’t solve the problem.
Thanks!

I have just created a webpage (link here) that uses a child theme of twenty-twelve. I was trying to include coauthors (I have installed coauthors plus) in entry-meta (which, as it is now and I want it to be, it only displays the author of the post and the date), but I don’t know how to do that, my skills are not enough. Whatever help would be deeply appreciated! Code is below.
Many thanks in advance.

A secondary issue is that the coauthors names are being duplicated like the two examples below. I am using the coauthors() function Examples of the code I am using to get these are.

]]>While creating the CAP I get an error when attaching the term.id to the guest-author: “Server returned a fault exception: [401] Sorry, one of the given taxonomies is not supported by the post type.”
I have created the CAP post using the “guest-author” post-type and the term using the “author” taxonomy.
In the DB I do not see an entry in the wp_term_relationships table to link the 2 objects (presumably due to the above error).
Note: Creating a CAP via the dashboard is successful.
Here’s the unusual kicker…
I am doing this using VB.net/C# and the WordPressSharp library (https://github.com/abrudtkuhl/WordPressSharp).
For the record, I can attach terms (category and tags) to a default post with post-type “post”. So, I do not believe there is an issue with attaching a term to a post, normally, using the library.
I am including the basics of the VB code and the XML.
Any help sorting out why I am getting this error will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

]]>I can’t seem to update the proper .php files for the Spacious theme to be able to add Co-Authors plus.
The simple instructions from the plugin are to find this function: (the_author_posts_link();) in my style.css or function.php templates and replace it with: (coauthors_posts_links();)
I am using the Spacious theme, and have NOT modified it in anyway. However, I can not find this function ANYWHERE.
Can someone please help me figure out how to add this function so that multiple authors appear per post?
Thanks!

]]>i have one problem and i need your help.
I use a polylang version 1.6.1.1 and i never had the two plugins working well together.
The problem is: if i add a user created by a wordpress, the co-authors show the articles of that user, ok, sounds good, but if i add a user created by a guest method and click to get the articles, i received a 404 page.
Note: If i disable the polylang, everything works great.
thanks in advance

]]>The solution lies in replacing the <?php the_author(); ?> or similar call with another line of code unique to Coauthors:
<?php if ( function_exists( 'coauthors_posts_links' ) ) { coauthors_posts_links(); } else { the_author_posts_link(); } ?>
The problem is I cannot find where to adjust the way the author’s name shows up above the post anywhere in the theme files. I assumed it’d be in index.html, but even if I flat out delete the part of the loop dealing with author names, the post author’s name still appears as if I hadn’t done anything. Suggestions?
