Displaying Co-authors Plus WordPress Plugin

1 Views

I originally posted this on the WordPress stack but apparently it was off-topic (???) and it was suggested I ask it here, so here’s the original question:

“I’m trying to add the Co-authors Plus plugin to the theme Oldpaper.

However, I’ve followed the documentation and it simply isn’t displaying multiple authors.

As per the instructions here, the code I’ve added to single.php: 

    if ( function_exists
( 'coauthors_posts_links' ) ) {
    coauthors_posts_links();
} else {
    the_author_posts_link();
}

However, posts are still displaying only one author. Single.php is the only place where the_author() is used, so it must be the right place to add the code.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.”

Subsequently, I noticed that the files of the plugin are apparently inactive, according to the WordPress editor. I’m not sure I believe this because all the backend works, it’s just the front end which isn’t working.

  1. If you look further into the instructions…

        if ( function_exists( 'coauthors_posts_links' ) ) :
    printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Posted on</span> %2$s <span class="meta-sep">by</span> %3$s', 'twentyten' ),
        'meta-prep meta-prep-author',
        sprintf( '<a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><span class="entry-date">%3$s</span></a>',
            get_permalink(),
            esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
            get_the_date()
        ),
        coauthors_posts_links( null, null, null, null, false )
    );
