Co-Authors Plus

By Automattic

Description

Assign multiple bylines to posts, pages, and custom post types via a search-as-you-type input box. Co-authored posts appear on a co-author's archive page and in their feed. Co-authors may edit the posts they are associated with, and co-authors who are contributors may only edit posts if they have not been published as is core behavior.

Add writers as bylines without creating WordPress user accounts. Simply create a guest author profile for the writer and assign the byline as you normally would.

On the frontend, use the Co-Authors Plus template tags to list co-authors anywhere you'd normally list the author.

For more detailed documentation refer to the GitHub Wiki for this plugin.

Co-Authors Plus is an almost complete rewrite of the Co-Authors plugin originally developed by Weston Ruter. The original plugin was inspired by the Multiple Authors plugin by Mark Jaquith.
