Dear lawtonjb,

The quick edit function is part of the protected WordPress core code. Hooking another function to this is difficult and extremely risky as this code tends to change on every WordPress update. This is why such functionality will not be incorporated for the moment.

Kind regards,

Martin

Dear oanhtran1804,

By my knowledge, WordPress does not support changing the author through the frontend of your website. So you must be using some kind of plugin to achieve this. The additional functionality you want should therefore be searched within this other plugin.

Additionally, adding multiple authors per page/post is also a functionality that is supported by other plugins rather than WordPress itself. So the same goes for that part of your question.

Kind regards,

Martin

Hello fmeynard,

I am not quite sure what your issue is. For any article you are uploading through the back-end of WordPress, you are able to select any user on your website as the author of that article. If you do not see the meta box to change the author, please read the FAQ.

Articles that are automatically posted through the secret email (the built-in WordPress function) are not supported.

Kind regards,

Martin

Hello Mike,

The latest verison now supports all public post types. Thank you for the suggestion.

WP 4.7 has been tested. Closing the topic.

Hi Jondaley,

Thanks for your addition to the plugin, it has been updated.

Kind regards,

Hi Arthur,

Since I have this plugin running on one of the websites I maintain, the functionality is periodically checked. However, I don’t always update it here in the plugin database. I will update it now.

There will be no additional functions to the plugin. It is a really simple plugin that does the job for my site, so there will be no support for new functions.

However, if you want to ask questions regarding the current functionality, I’m always happy to help.

Kind regards,

Martin

Hi jturet,

I don’t think it is easily implemented in the bulk edit screen, since that is gouverned by javascript as far as I know. This would take a lot of time for me, which I currently do not have.

Kind regards,

Martin

Hello K W,

Thanks for your appreciation. Support for custom post types will not be introduced. It could be, but I don’t have the time to go through implementing and testing it.

Instead, I invite you to take a look at the plugin’s code, which is actually very simple. You see that the meta box is added for the ‘post’ type. You could try to change this to your custom post type.

Kind regards,

Martin

Hi,

It has been a long time since I visited my plugin’s page. But maybe you still need help with the issue. On my own websites, I don’t have the issue you described. Please make sure it is not a theme-related issue by checking the user overview in the back-end. The subscribers with content assigned to them should have a non-zero value in the ‘Posts’ field.

Kind regards,

Martin

Hello,

The WordPress default is that only Authors, Editors and Admins can be selected. This plugin extends that list with Subscribers and Contributors, essentially by removing the filter which the list has in standard WordPress.

Please explain what functionality you would like to see within this plugin.

Kind regards,

Martin

To add more possible authors to the selection list, just add new subscribers as astpaul already wrote (and as you could have read in the plugin description). ??

If you are looking for the possibility to select multiple authors per post, then this plugin is not the one you are looking for.

Well I think we will never know, because I tried the same file again, deactivated and activated the plugin and it works. I didn’t do anything different from 2 days ago and it works now…

But thanks anyway.

I put the php_flag errors on, and found out that it was a shortage of php memory. So I upgraded the limit and things were resolved.

Thank you for your time! ??

Just now, I found a workaround for adding media to pages using the Faster Image Insert plugin (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/faster-image-insert/).
