ማብራሪያ
Assign multiple bylines to posts, pages, and custom post types via a search-as-you-type input box. 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).
Add writers as bylines without creating WordPress user accounts. Simply create a guest author profile for the writer and assign the byline as you normally would.
On the frontend, use the Co-Authors Plus template tags to list co-authors anywhere you’d normally list the author.
For more detailed documentation refer to the GitHub Wiki for this plugin.
Co-Authors Plus is an almost complete rewrite of the Co-Authors plugin originally developed by Weston Ruter (2007). The original plugin was inspired by the ‘Multiple Authors‘ plugin by Mark Jaquith (2005).

Blocks
This plugin provides 5 blocks.
- Co-Author Name Displays a co-author's display name and optionally links to their author archive.
- Co-Author Featured Image Uses your theme's image sizes to display a scalable avatar for a co-author with a guest author profile. Does not fallback to Gravatar images.
- Co-Author Biography Displays a co-author's biographical description.
- Co-Authors Displays the co-authors of a post by using blocks to create a template. Start with co-author name and add any other co-author blocks.
- Co-Author Avatar Displays a small scale version of a co-author's avatar. Utilizes fallbacks from Gravatar so everyone has an avatar.
