Authors Not Showing Up in Posts

Have you implemented the template tags? Can you share screenshots of what you see on the frontend vs. the backend? Which theme are you using?

I’m having the same issue. I’ve tried to tweak the functions.php but I broke the site.

Is there clear documentation for a noob?

Yeah the 3.03 update did nothing to resolve this.

1. No, I have never used the template tags. Are they mandatory?

2. A screenshot demonstrating the problem is at this link (impossible to attach on this thread): https://imgur.com/WmkJ8

3. I am using this on two different themes. Same problem, both places.

Yes, the template tags are mandatory.

That’s really bad news for me then. No offense, but that documentation via that link isn’t helpful to me. For example I found this in my single.php file:

———————
<?php if ($wpzoom_singlepost_author == ‘Show’) { ?><li class=”author”><?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> <?php } ?>
———————

How am I supposed to know how to turn it into your example:

—————————-
if ( function_exists( ‘coauthors_posts_links’ ) ) {
coauthors_posts_links();
} else {
the_author_posts_link();
}
—————————–

Is that supposed to be this:

<?php if ($wpzoom_singlepost_author == ‘Show’) { ?><li class=”author”><?php if ( function_exists( ‘coauthors_posts_links’ ) ) {
coauthors_posts_links();
} else {
the_author_posts_link();
} ?> <?php } ?>

Okay what I did is this… I’d find any instance of this:

the_author_posts_link();

and replaced it with:

coauthors_posts_links();

That seemed to resolve the issue actually. My only problem is that my Fancy Author box isn’t reading the author thing correctly now. I don’t expect you to know how to troubleshoot a different plugin, but any clue on what I should look for?

It will probably need some development work in order to be fully compatible.
