- NEW each author now links to a personnal page or external URL, in addition to author posts (default)
- NEW better integration with home, archive categories and custom loops
- NEW a few more options with avatar, before/after content
- NEW no repetition of author name if revision author is the same
This great simple plugin, written with multimedia agency Glanum, adds the author and date at the top or bottom of the content on posts, on pages and on archive categories (optionally along with last modified date and author), with a fully custom per-post / per-page hide option. Especially usefull for multi-author sites and blogs:
- Name of the author of the post or page, optional avatar
- Date of first publication
- Author and date of last revision
It is flexible and offers the following options in the admin menu:
- Display the post author info independently on posts, pages, archive categories and home
- Specific per-post/per-page exception: hide the info on any post and page you want!
- Choose: before or after the content or the excerpt independently
- Optional link on author name to WP’s default author posts list or now to a custom author page or external URL
- Write your own label before and after the name of the author: e.g.
Contributed by
Author Namefor OurNewsBlog
- Date of 1st publication is optional, and supports surrounding text like above
- Author and date of last revision are both independently optional, and only display if revision author or date are different from the original, with surrounding text
The plugin is initially intended for very small to much larger multi-author blogs (newspaper, magazine, webzine, collaborative publications, communities…) when an article is supposed to be signed by its author and not remain anonymous, as commonly expected in journalism and publishing.
- Lastly, information is displayed in nested
div
andspan
so it is CSS ready, just up to you to do the styling to your taste. See the screenshots. - Integrates great with qTranslate for multilingual or international blogs, using Quicktags
- Available in English, French, Belarusian (credit Marcis Gasuns), German (credit Rian Kremer), Hebrew (credit Sagive), Romanian (credit Luke Tyler), Slovak (credit Branco Radenovich) and Farsi (credit Hamed Nourhani).

அடிக்கடி கேட்கப்படும் கேள்விகள்
- I use html IMG or BR tags to seperate divs, spans or to add padding, is this right?
-
To make the best use of the plugin, you should NOT use html tags in the optional fields provided. Instead, you should style the divs and spans. With CSS, you can easily add an image in the author div. Also, by adding a “display:block” style to the span, you will force a line break before. And styling on your categories pages can be customized as well since it uses other classes, so you can make the text here smaller for instance.
- How can I display the author’s username instead of his/her real name (or vice versa)?
-
The plugin uses the standard WP get_the_author command, which “grabs the value in the user’s
Display name publicly as
field”. So you might want to check in the USER admin page what that is and make sure that you selected the complete name and not the username or something else. - Can I use a different variable link than default WP author page
-
As of version 1.0, you can specify a custom link. The plugin can pick the URL you specify in the author’s profile. This URL could be a bio page on your blog or an external website or social network profile… And you still have a static link for all authors, as an alternative to the default or custom biography/user page.
- Where is the support?
-
Support, feedback, help, exchange and all community stuff should happen here – reply to this thread as there is no website or page for this project other than this one here on WordPress.
If for some reason you need to start a new thread with the appropriate tags, it’s here.
