Beskrivelse

Do you have a blog/website with a lot of contributing authors but you do not want to give them the rights to publish
the articles themselves for whatever reason? In that case it would be nice when you are able to give them credit for
what they wrote anyway. Since WordPress cannot override the author with a non-author by default, this plugin overrides
the Author meta-box with a meta box that can select any user.

So whenever you want to place an article that was written by someone else, you just create a user with subscriber role
(if he/she hasn’t already) and assign the article to that user!

Do I need to configure anything?

No, this plugin does not need a settings page.

I don’t see the meta box, where is it?

Click ‘Screen Options’ at the upper right corner and check the box next to ‘Author’.

Why can’t I just type the name of the person I want to credit as author instead of having to use a user account?

Well, some themes link the author name to the author archive and that needs a user account to work. So this plugin will not break such theme functions.

What post types are supported?

All public post types are supported, both built-in and custom.

easy. useful. light.

No longer works…but here’s a fix:

Alex Mansfield 28. juni, 2018 2 replies
This plugin attempts to override the default author meta box, but that doesn’t seem to work any more. However, it is possible to simply filter the options for the author dropdown list like this to get the same result: function add_subscribers_to_dropdown( $query_args, $r ) { $query_args['who'] = ''; return $query_args; } add_filter( 'wp_dropdown_users_args', 'add_subscribers_to_dropdown', 10, 2 ); More details in the user contributed notes for the wp_dropdown_users_args filter.

Not Compatible With Latest Version of WP

This plugin doesn’t work on the newest versions of Wordpress. Hopefully the author updates soon!

Doesn’t seem to work anymore

With the addon installed, nothing changed or allowed me to change the name of the author on my multisite.

At Last!

Drove me crazy what should have been a WP default! So I had to add yet another plugin to fix the issue! Well done to the developer!
