On any post, clicking “more from this author” (“meer van deze auteur” in Dutch) shows a listing of posts which are not necessarily written by that author. Every post has an actual author (i.e. a user in wordpress who wrote that post), there’s no guest author renaming or such happening.
Never mind, solved now. Probably due to WP upgrade, some sync which went haywire. I didn’t change anything and it works fine again so I’m assuming it has been solved behind the screens.
Belay that, it’s happening again. I’m not changing anything on the backend here. Please investigate 🙂
I checked some posts, but I cannot see this issue

There are conditions in the theme and filtering to ensure that this not happens, only posts from the same author should be displayed.
Hi Simion, you hit on a post from an author who’s being featured now (many recent posts are his).
Check this specific URL. If you click on the author, you’ll see this author has only a single post. However, “meer van deze auteur” (more from this author) shows other posts.
The section “meer van deze auteur” seems to be displaying the most recent posts by ascending order of age, not filtering on author at all.
Hi,
Then something is not working properly. I have made some tests, first I created an author role user and created one post

Upon viewing that post and clicking on the more from author link

There are no posts shown, that would be the intended functionality of this section.
It seems that in your case the more from author is populated with posts from a different author. I could not say what exactly is causing this issue, it could be theme modifications or maybe plugins.
Could you direct me to the part of the theme code that populates this section? I’m thinking maybe somehow the first author of the post is getting selected, instead of the author set in the final revision. That explanation matches the symptoms perfectly in my case. If you can tell me what file to look in, I’ll dig into it further myself.
Hello JayVee,
The functionality for this related post can be changed from here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/LaSZa1TkbP
Thanks.
