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).\n\nAdd writers as bylines without creating WordPress user accounts. Simply [create a guest author profile](https://github.com/Automattic/Co-Authors-Plus/wiki/Creating-and-editing-guest-authors) for the writer and assign the byline as you normally would.\n\nOn the frontend, use the [Co-Authors Plus template tags](https://github.com/Automattic/Co-Authors-Plus/wiki/Template-tags) to list co-authors anywhere you'd normally list the author.\n\n**For more detailed documentation refer to [the GitHub Wiki for this plugin](https://github.com/Automattic/Co-Authors-Plus/wiki).**\n\nCo-Authors Plus is an almost complete rewrite of the [Co-Authors](https://wordpress.org/plugins/co-authors/) plugin originally developed by Weston Ruter (2007). The original plugin was inspired by the '[Multiple Authors](https://txfx.net/2005/08/16/new-plugin-multiple-authors/)' plugin by Mark Jaquith (2005).\n\n## Installation\n\n1. IMPORTANT: If you are using the original Co-Authors plugin, disable it before installing Co-Authors Plus.\n2. Extract the coauthors-plus.zip file and upload its contents to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. Alternately, you can install directly from the Plugin directory within your WordPress Install.\n3. Activate the plugin through the \"Plugins\" menu in WordPress.\n4. Place [co-authors template tags](https://github.com/Automattic/Co-Authors-Plus/wiki/Template-tags) in your template.\n5. Add co-authors to your posts and pages.\n\n## Screenshots\n\n1. Multiple authors can be added to a Post, Page, or Custom Post Type using an auto-complete interface.\n2. Guest authors allow you to assign bylines without creating WordPress user accounts. You can also override existing WordPress account meta by mapping a guest author to a WordPress user.\n\n## Frequently Asked Questions\n\n### How do I add Co-Authors Plus support to my theme?\n\nIf you've just installed Co-Authors Plus, you might notice that the bylines are being added in the backend but aren't appearing on the front end. You'll need to [add the template tags to your theme](https://github.com/Automattic/Co-Authors-Plus/wiki/Template-tags) before the bylines will appear.\n\n### What happens to posts and pages when I delete a user assigned to a post or page as a co-author?\n\nWhen a user is deleted from WordPress, they will be removed from all posts for which they are co-authors. If you reassign their posts to another user, that user will be the co-author instead.\n\n### Can I use Co-Authors Plus with WordPress multisite?\n\nYes! You can [use Co-Authors Plus on WordPress multisite](https://github.com/Automattic/Co-Authors-Plus/wiki#wordpress-multisites). Co-Authors Plus can be activated on a site-by-site basis or network-activated. If you create guest authors, however, those guest authors will exist on a site-by-site basis.\n\n### Who needs permission to do what?\n\nA WordPress user will need the `edit_others_posts` capability to assign co-authors to posts. This is typically granted to the Editor role but can be altered with the `coauthors_plus_edit_authors` filter.\n\nA WordPress user will need the `list_users` capability to create new guest author profiles. This is typically granted to the Administrator role but can be altered with the `coauthors_guest_author_manage_cap` filter.\n\n### Can I easily create a list of all co-authors?\n\nYes! You can [create a list of all co-authors with a template tag](https://github.com/Automattic/Co-Authors-Plus/wiki/Template-tags#create-a-list-of-all-co-authors) `coauthors_wp_list_authors()` template tag. This template tag accepts many of the same arguments as `wp_list_authors()`. Look in `template-tags.php` for more details.\n\n### Can I disable Guest Authors?\n\nYes! You can disable guest authors entirely through a filter. Having the following line load on `init` will do the trick:\n`add_filter( 'coauthors_guest_authors_enabled', '__return_false' )`\n\n## Change Log\n\n[View the change log](https://github.com/Automattic/Co-Authors-Plus/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FAutomattic%2FCo-Authors-Plus","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FAutomattic%2FCo-Authors-Plus","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FAutomattic%2FCo-Authors-Plus/lists"}
