OK, thanks 4 that. Cheers

Any author name you create in the settings as the default publisher of the post.

Thank you @rizaardiyanto. I am using the latest version of the Author plugin.

I also use two other plugins that utilise user name and profile information. They are (a) Paid Memberships Pro which Contributors use to create an account and (b) Front End Posts which Contributors use to post in the front end of my website.

I may be able to offer a clue to the problem which I found after writing my first message in this thread. When I enable the “guest” author option in the Author plugin, Contributors are NOT automatically mapped in the Author profile on joining the website. When I stopped using a “guest” author, Contributors are then automatically mapped as intended. So it seemed to have something to do with the “guest” author, but that’s a guess.

While this did not directly solve the problem, it allows me to use the Author plugin. Now, Contributors join and automatically get an author profile. When they post from the front end, and before I publish the post, I add a mapped default user to the top of the authors list using the drop-down box. The default user is then shown as the publisher of the post AND co-author of the post with the Contributor. A good practical solution for my needs.

Dear Stephane,

Sorry to have bothered you. After reading your reply I went back and re-saved the permalink settings which resolved the issue.

I don’t know why that didn’t work the first time. I did do and extra step which was to log out of my website and click the links from the front page (as a member of the publi might) rather than when logged into WordPress. That may have made a difference. Just a guessing though.

Anyway, you can treat this issue as resolved and thanks for your help.

Cheers

Dear Stephane,

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, all working with Google and Azure. Just used plain text in the editor as per my earlier post.

I have screenshots you wanted, but can’t where to upload them in this thread as the editor doesn’t have an attachment option. How do I provide the screenshots to you?

Cheers
