Co-Authors Plus

Allows multiple authors to be assigned to any post type via a search-as-you-type input box

Download Version 2.6.1

Allows multiple authors to be assigned to a Post, Pages, or Custom Post Types via the search-as-you-type inputs. Co-authored posts appear on a co-author's posts page and feed. New template tags allow listing of co-authors. Editors and Administrators may assign co-authors to a post. Additionally, co-authors may edit the posts they are associated with, and co-authors who are contributors may only edit posts if they have not been published (as is usual).

This plugin is an almost complete rewrite of the Co-Authors plugin originally developed at Shepherd Interactive (2007). The original plugin was inspired by the 'Multiple Authors' plugin by Mark Jaquith (2005).

The extended version incorporates search-as-you-type functionality for adding users, which aims to make easy the task of adding multiple users to posts and pages, especially when dealing with a system with hundreds of users (typical of newspaper and magazine sites).
