Now you have no need to make additional requests to get author info (name, display_name, first_name, last_name, user_email, user_registered date) from their id that is available in the default json response. Now all these author data is available in ‘author_meta’ field from your json response. For example in ‘wp-json/wp/v2/posts’ you can find default fields ‘author’ that contains only its id. With this plugin you can also find new ‘author_meta’ field that include details about author. Before: { … author: 1 … } After: { … author_meta: { ID:”1″, display_name:”admin”, user_email:”demo@mail.com”, user_nicename:”admin”, user_registered:”2016-03-01 21:25:23″ } … } Credits This plugin is created by Ruhul Amin
