Guest author name not shown on author archive pages

Hi @zerodotnine,

The page you linked is displaying 4 authors: Test Author 3, Test Author 2, Test Author 1 and Test Panelist. I see all of them are guest authors so I don’t really understand what’s the issue. Maybe you have more guest authors that are not being displayed? Or maybe you want users to be displayed too?

Here you have the doc for the shortcode responsible to display that list. You might want to take a look at the “type”, “include_guests”, “with_posts”, “post_type” and “count” attributes.

If that doesn’t help, could you please try to provide a little more detail so I can understand what the issue is?

Hi

Sorry, that was my bad, I should have said to click into a user to see that the names are not being pulled in on the archive page:

Guest author example
https://zerodotnine.co.uk/preview/economic-policy/author/test-author-3/

Normal user example:
https://zerodotnine.co.uk/preview/economic-policy/author/admin/

I hope that is clearer

Many thanks

Hi @zerodotnine,

Oh, OK! Yes, now we see what you meant. Could you please let us know whether the “Display Name” field for those guests is filled in? If it is not, could you please fill it in for one of those guest and check if the name is then displayed?

Hi @molongui

Yes, the Display name fields are filled in on the guest users

Hi @zerodotnine,

OK. Could you please let us know if the update we release yesterday fixes the issue? If it does not, could you please let us know whether the template for author archives is the default one provided by your theme or it has been modified/customized somehow?
