Co-Authors Plugin Code

Hi,

I need to add the co authors plugin code snippet, but I’m not sure which file to add it to. I would like the coauthor to show right below the post title: Here is the supposed code I need to replace, but I can’t find it in the theme. Please help.

I need to replace the_author_posts_link() and you will need to replace it with the following code snippet.

if ( function_exists( ‘coauthors_posts_links’ ) ) {
coauthors_posts_links();
} else {
the_author_posts_link();
}

I’m trying to make this work for Newsmag, but your instructions seem to work only for Newspaper. Can you post the equivalent instructions for Newsmag? I’ve installed the Co-authors Plus plugin, and I want to be able to credit multiple authors for a single article. Thanks!

Thanks. With your help, I was able to find the author-template.php file and make the edits. Now my code looks exactly like your example. But the second author still doesn’t appear on the finished post. I can add a second author when I compose the post, and the post shows up on both authors’ author pages, but the second author’s name doesn’t appear on the post itself. Help? Salvatore

Thanks Calin. The instructions are a bit too complicated for me (and a bit too chaotically presented), so I think I’ll have to pass. But thanks for the response. Salvatore

Hi, I know how to implement coauthor for default post templates, but I don’t know how to implement it for a post template created with cloud templates. Any hints where to start, what to do?

Hi. I added the code you suggested to tdb_single_author.php but found the result of the count was always 1. So needed to use $coauths = get_coauthors(***post ID***);

However, I can’t figure out how to get the post ID!

If I use $post->ID I get the ID of the template, not the ID of the parent post.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I worked out a way to do it through the SLUG, but if you can simplify this code at all that would be great.

It replaces the single line of code that is in the ‘else’ from the pastebin. The original code is from tdb_single_author.php

No worries Calin.

I will leave my latest code in pastebin in case someone finds this thread and needs help with the same thing.

This code is placed in the tdb_single_author.php file.

There is an update on this? the code and files changed since 2018.

it worked. Thank you.

Hi, i think it’s a little late but perhaps this works for somebody 🙂
This is an add for the function render:

//get the js for this block
$buffy .= $this->get_block_js();
function dismount($object)
{
$reflectionClass = new ReflectionClass(get_class($object));
$array = array();
foreach ($reflectionClass->getProperties() as $property) {
$property->setAccessible(true);
$array[$property->getName()] = $property->getValue($object);
$property->setAccessible(false);
}
return $array;
}
$array=dismount($tdb_state_single);
$parcial1=$array[“wp_query”];
$author=cap_get_coauthor_terms_for_post($parcial1->queried_object_id); //function for get the coauthor for post: #####

Right now i’m suffering with a different implementation for the co-author in the post perhaps you could help me:
function render( $atts, $content = null ) {

parent::render( $atts ); // sets the live atts, $this->atts, $this->block_uid, $this->td_query (it runs the query)

global $tdb_state_single;

$post_author_data = $tdb_state_single->post_author->__invoke();

$add_text_pos = $this->get_att(‘add_text_pos’);

$buffy = ”; //output buffer

$buffy .= ‘<div class=”‘ . $this->get_block_classes() . ‘ tdb-post-meta” ‘ . $this->get_block_html_atts() . ‘>’;

//get the block css
$buffy .= $this->get_block_css();

//get the js for this block
$buffy .= $this->get_block_js();
//NUEVOS AGREGADOS

if ( function_exists( ‘coauthors_posts_links’ ) )
{
wp_reset_query();
wp_reset_postdata();

$buffy .= ‘<div class=”tdb-author-name-wrap”>’;
$buffy .= ‘<style>
.tdb_single_author a{vertical-align:unset !important;}
</style>’;
$buffy .= ‘<span class=”tdb-author-by”>Por ‘ . coauthors_posts_links( null, null, null, null, false ) . ‘</span> ‘;
}

$buffy .= ‘</div>’;
$buffy .= ‘</div>’;

$buffy .= ‘</div>’;

return $buffy;

}

This print two times my post content i know it’s for the wp_reset_query but i don’t know how to make it work in an easy way, not the hard one.
