PublishPress Authors allows you to create, manage and display authors for all your WordPress content. The plugin provides author boxes that can display one author, coauthors, multiple authors or even guest authors. The boxes have the author’s name, avatar, description and more. You can also place the author boxes in widgets, shortcodes and Gutenberg blocks. Here are the some most important features of PublishPress Authors: Author Box. As soon as you install PublishPress Authors, you’ll see an author box under every post. You can add all the profile details you need for each author. Multiple Authors. By default, WordPress only allows one author per post. PublishPress Authors allows you to add an unlimited number of authors to each post. This is very useful if you have a busy site and need to manage and give credit to coauthors. Guest Authors. You can create Guest Authors who don’t have an account on your site. This is important because not all writers need a username and password. Author Pages. PublishPress Authors allows you to showcase the work of each individual author with customizable author pages where you decide which post information is displayed.
