Displaying meta data from user profile page

    Anyone know how I would go about displaying meta data (like a Twitter name) after each author name? The meta data is already set up. Expected output would be:

    By Author1 (@twitter1) and Author2 (@twitter2)

    Would I be able to do this with the coauthors_posts_links() function? I see parameters for before and after, but it seems to be before and after the entire output, not before/after each author.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Have you tried writing a loop and generating your own byline output?

    Alternatively, you should be able to filter ‘coauthors_posts_link’ to add the Twitter username. Here’s some untested pseudo-code:

    add_filter( 'coauthors_posts_link', 'capx_filter_coauthors_posts_link', 10, 2 );
function capx_filter_coauthors_posts_link( $args, $author ) {

	$twitter = get_user_meta( $author->ID, 'twitter', true );
	if ( $twitter )
		$args['text'] .= '@' . $twitter;

	return $args;
}

    This worked like a champ. Thanks!
