Hello Higork and Islychng,

could you make sure that the “Featured Image” checkbox within the “Screen Options” tab (at the top right of the guest-author edit page) is checked?

Also, keep in mind that our plugin uses the native WP feature image functionality, so if you or any other plugin has disabled it, it won’t show on guest-author edit page.

Please, let us know if this helps.

Thank you very much.

Hi artouiros,

shortcode to display the author box anywhere you like is available only in the premium version of the plugin. If you wish, you can get it here.

Using the shortcode, you are able to display the information of the author you define (not just the one who write the current post), to customize how it is displayed regardless of the configuration set in the plugin settings and much more. You can find out here.

Thank you very much.

Hi Thetrianglereview,

first of all, let us thank you for purchasing the premium version of our plugin! We have checked and we have got no email from you, not sure what might have happened.

As your question is in regards of a premium setting, let’s us write you an email so we can communicate over there (we are using the email address you used to purchase the premium license).

Next update (1.3.0) will include an option to customize many of the strings that appear on the authorship box, so yes, you could be able to change “Blog” to “Author Archive” or whatever you like.

Thank you very much.

Hi Casiop3a,

the plugin has no option to achieve that, although it is on our road map, so it will be implemented in a future release.

Anyway, you always have the option to edit the i18n file or directly the source file, although these options are not desirable because the changes will be rewritten by plugin updates. Another option would be using a plugin like “CodeStyling Localization”.

Hi Siriusly,

if you want to show the author box only on posts, the option you should select is the one that says “Only on posts”.

The option “No, let me choose where to display it” is meant to be used with the option “Show the authorship box for this post?” in the edit post page.

The issue reported here has been fixed on version 1.2.20.

Thank you Gillman for pointing it out.

Hi Tomystein,

currently, there is no way to achieve what you suggest. Nonetheless, it is a feature request that we will consider to include in our roadmap.

Thank you very much.

Yes, you should update to the latest version before applying any change.

Once updated, please, do the following:

1) Open the plugin folder
2) Go to the “includes” file
3) Open the “class-guest-author.php” file
4) Go to line 1067
5) Replace lines from 1067 to 1078 with this piece of code:

$args = array(
	'post_type'      => 'post',
	'author'         => $author_id,
	'orderby'        => $settings[ 'molongui_authorship_related_order_by' ],
	'order'          => $settings[ 'molongui_authorship_related_order' ],
	'posts_per_page' => ( $get_all ? '-1' : $settings[ 'molongui_authorship_related_items' ] ),
	'meta_query'     => array(
		'relation'    => 'OR',
		array(
			'key'     => '_molongui_guest_author',
			'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS',
		),
		array(
			'relation'     => 'AND',
			array(
				'key'      => '_molongui_guest_author',
				'compare'  => 'EXISTS',
			),
			array(
				'key'      => '_molongui_guest_author',
				'value'    => '0',
				'compare'  => '==',
			),
		),
	),
);

6) Empty any cache-system you may have
7) Check if the problem persists

Please, let us know how it goes.

Hi Gillman,

would you feel comfortable modifying a plugin’s PHP file? If so, tell us and we will give you some instructions to check the issue you pointed out. If not, would it be possible to have access to your installation so we can check?

Anyhow, please, answer us using the contact form in our website, so no email address is made public here.

Closing this ticket as solved.

Hi talkingfertility2016,

you contacted us using the form in our website reporting this same issue. We answered your mail giving you some advice, but we get no answer from you. You mentioned a server migration, so the process could have corrupted some files.

The error you get might be caused by the fact that some server configurations do not like any empty line between the heading “<?php” within a PHP file and the first line of code. If you followed the steps we suggested in our mail with no luck, you could try to remove the empty line below the heading “<?php” from the “molongui-authorship.php” file.

Hi Anachison,

there is nothing broken, just a change on how the author’s name link works. Now it links to an archive author page, as WP does for registered users. Archive author page for guest authors is only available on premium version, so no link for that kind of author on free version.

To keep the link previously used, now a “blog” link is added in the authorbox, so the feature is kept.
