Features include:

  1. listing all co-authored posts in an author’s posts page and feed
  2. extending the “Post Author” box in the interface sidebar so that adding new co-authors to a post is seamless
  3. providing new template tags which make it easier to display each co-author with a link to their posts page and other items
  4. including a modified version of wp_list_authors that takes into account posts with co-authors
  5. defining a co-author iterator class that can be used for stepping through all of a post’s co-authors

See more on the Co-Author Plugin page.

I'm having a couple problems with this plug-in. I'm calling the other authors via: My first problem, is that ' and ' is not being shown between authors. I read through the comments here, and didn't find a solution to this, maybe I just missed it. Second, when a second author is added to the post. The post does not show up when you click on that author's link. It appears that although their name is being displayed, the post isn't attributed to their "user". Is there any fix for either of these? I appreciate your time, thanks -MCS Hi, just a question. I’m having a couple problems with this plug-in. I’m calling the other authors via:

I.e. author-template.php functions will never exist for this author because wp_query isn't engineered to search metadata. Though one could engineer a custom wp_query, with lots of authors it really becomes taxing to the database. I think there should be a separate authors table that maps author_ids to article_ids, but this is difficult based on how WP does things now.
