    Plugin hasn’t been working since the 4.0.0 update for us. We’ve reinstalled it w/ each new update since then but have had to roll back to the 3.7.0 version every time. When installed, the author name simply doesn’t populate. Searching for an author will generate the pulldown, but selecting th author does nothing.

    The dropdown populating means the /coauthors/v1/search/ endpoint is fine and the search-as-you-type wiring works. The “selecting does nothing” symptom points at the onChange handler in src/components/co-authors/index.jsx:104-112, which calls addItemByValue() and then updateAuthors(). If either silently fails, you’d see exactly this — search works, selection no-ops.

    Most plausible causes, in rough order of likelihood:

    • Stale bundled JS cached by CDN/browser that doesn’t match the current REST API shape (the coauthorTermIds/buildCoauthorTermIds rework in a recent PR changed the entity store contract; old JS would break here silently).
    • A JS error mid-onChange that’s only visible in the console.
    • A third-party plugin filtering the REST search response to omit termId or userNicename, which would make addItemByValue find nothing and silently no-op.

    @egonzaleztest Please can you share your WP version, the full console error with stack trace, the active plugins, and whether your site has a CDN and/or object cache?
