Highlights

Multiple authors for posts

Do you want to show multiple authors for a post in WordPress? Many websites often have more than one author working on the same article. In that case you may want to give credit to all the authors who worked on the post.

Add multiple authors for posts and pages, as many as you like. Just use the selector you will find on edit-post page to add, order and remove multiple authors.

Byline is updated accordingly everywhere on your site by default. You can choose how many author names to be displayed on it: all, just the main author, main author plus remaining number of authors, first two plus remaining number of authors…

The order how the authors are listed is important because the first one will be taken as the “main” author for the post. That’s why you can easily re-order authors by drag-and-drop.

Advanced users and developers may use the Molongui Authorship template tags to list multi-authors anywhere they would normally list the author. Take a look at plugin’s documentation to know how to.

Guest authors

You might have contributing authors who write for your blog but you don’t want to give them access to your WordPress installation, not even with a subscriber role. Even if that’s the case, it would be nice to give them credit for what they wrote anyway.

Add writers as bylines without creating WordPress user accounts. Simply create a guest author profile for the writer and assign him/her to the post or page of your choice. Just use the selector you will find on edit-post page to add the defined guest author.

As it happens with multiple authors, byline is updated everywhere on you site by default.

Author box

Give credit to the authors and contributors of your blog by showing their profile information in a fancy and minimalistic box on all posts, all pages or just on those that you configure.

Add as much information about the author as you need: name, picture, personal link, job title, company, company link, social media links, bio… even choose whether to show related posts from that author to increase page views and session duration.

Each author can have a different set of social media profiles added. Just choose from more than 70 social networks: Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, YouTube, Pinterest, Tumblr, Instagram, Vk, Flickr, Vine, Meetup, Sina-weibo, Deviantart, Stumbleupon, Myspace, Mixi, SoundCloud, Last.fm, Foursquare, Vimeo, Spotify, GitHub, CodePen… Check out the complete list here.

You can even choose whether to show the author box above or below your content and customize colors, sizes, effects, shapes and other styles to make it look sexy.

All with different author box layouts with structured data to help search engines to index your content better and present it more prominently in search results.
