I’ve figured a lot out about the site as far as features but one issue I’m having ahead of my site’s relaunch is making sure authors are correctly assigned to their piece. It might because I’m viewing the site before it’s live but I’m using the co-author plus plugin for all my authors and none of those authors are assigned to their respective pieces. Once the site is live will the authors appear assigned to their respective articles?
Hi,
By default a post can have one author, this could be extended with plugin like the one you mention. But it will require modifications to the theme files in order to make the plugin work with theme. There are some topics you can follow
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/multiple-authors-co-authors-on-articles-author-links-and-author-boxes/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/co-authors-plugin-code/
As a note, if you updated the theme to 4.8, the post template files are now in the tagDiv composer plugin – http://prntscr.com/njsluq
From what I know there are plans to make this implementation more easier to do, there will be a guide created by us in the future. Can’t say when exactly however.
Thanks
Hello Simion. Where on the backend do I access that plugin that lists those functions?
Hi,
Please read this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/multiple-authors-co-authors-on-articles-author-links-and-author-boxes/
Try to make a custom modification to implement it for post template that you use – http://screencast.com/t/GOXrK2OTf use this code – http://pastebin.com/chADk3Xw here is the path -> Newsmag/loop-single.php
Result: http://screencast.com/t/oaYBwClZQN – http://screencast.com/t/aOfQUxuL
Thank you.
Thank you for the response. In my backend it simply displays the following code:
<?php $td_mod_single->show_author() ?>
So the difference in the loop-single.php I’m not given the code that says get_author
With posts, the co-author plugin does work as well as it displays more than one author in the list of posts.
In the Newspaper: Single Post (single.php) there isn’t a line of code that deals with authors.
I do apologize for the number of questions. Just really want to get this to work because I really like your theme and want to use it for my website.
Hi,
Please try the steps from this topic for co-authors plugin -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/co-authors-plugin-code/
Hope this will help you!
Thanks.
