    Hello I was wondering if anybody could help me out. My main problem is that posts that have two authors are only showing up under one author currently. For my main problem I have placed the code in a pastebin. Thanks ahead for helping me out.

    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.

    Example One:

    Example Two:

    This entry was contributed by Lindsay and LindsayLindsay and Lindsay, October 26th, 2015 at 1:04 pm and is filed under Capacity Building, Community Partnerships, Diversity.

    Code Example:

    <?php if( function_exists( 'coauthors' ) ) :
	echo '<span class="post-author-meta">This entry was ' . __( 'contributed by', 'reverie' )  coauthors() . ', ' . get_the_time( 'F jS, Y \a\\t g:i a' );
else :
	echo '<span class="post-author-meta">This entry was ' . __( 'contributed by', 'reverie' ) get_the_author_meta( 'display_name' ) . ', ' . get_the_time( 'F jS, Y \a\\t g:i a' );
endif; 

$coauthors = get_coauthors();

foreach( $coauthors as $coauthor ):
$userdata = get_userdata( $coauthor->ID ); ?>

<div class="entry-author panel contributor-title">
	<div class="row">
		<div class="large-3 columns">
			<div class="img"><?php echo get_avatar( $userdata->user_email, 95 ); ?></div>

			<div class="name"><a href="/contributors"><?php echo $userdata->display_name; ?></a></div>
		</div>

		<div class="large-9 columns">
			<p class="cover-description"><?php echo $userdata->user_description; ?></p>
		</div>
	</div>
</div>
<?php endforeach;?>

    Was able to figure out both problems. For my main problem where the posts that were not showing up under both of the authors. By including the get_post_taxonomies function in the posts arguments array this seems to have fixed that main problem problem.:

    <?php $author_args = array(
	'offset'                    =>  0,
	'orderby'                 =>  'post_date',
	'order'                     =>  'DESC',
	<strong>'include'                  =>  get_post_taxonomies( 'author' ),</strong>
	'author'                   =>  $contributor_id,
	'post_type'              =>  'post',
	'post_status'           =>  'publish',
	'posts_per_page'    =>  -1,
	'suppress_filters'     =>  true,
);

// Gets the posts for each contributor.
$posts = get_posts( $author_args );

if ( $posts ):
	foreach ( $posts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post );

		// post information here

	endforeach;
endif; ?>

    For the second problem with the duplication of the co-authors was solved by doing this,
    although this could be improved upon:

    <?php if ( $posts ):
	foreach ( $posts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post );
		// Setting up the coauthors variable
		$coauthors = get_coauthors();

		// Counter for the coauthors foreach loop below
		$coauth = 0;

		// Counting the number of objects in the array.
		$len = count( $coauthors );

		echo '<div class="post">';
			// Meta data here...

			foreach( $coauthors as $coauthor ):
				// Updating the counter.
				$coauth++;

				// Getting the data for the current author
				$userdata = get_userdata( $coauthor->ID );

				// If one object in the array
				if ( $coauth == 0 ):
					// Just the authors name
					echo $userdata->display_name;
				// If more than one object in the array
				elseif ( $coauth >= 1 ):
					// Adding a "comma" after the name
					echo $userdata->display_name . ', ';
				// If last object in the array
				elseif ( $coauth == $len - 1 ):
					// Adding an "and" before the last object
					echo ' and ' . $userdata->display_name;
				endif;
			endforeach;

			// More meta data here...
		echo '</div>';
	endforeach;
endif; ?>

    Hope that this helps someone else out in the future if they have a similar problem!!
