This plugin was working great, then it just stopped working correctly. What I mean by that is we have over 50 authors in the system. On a couple of articles we had the wrong author listed. So when we try to change the author via “edit post”, it says it is changed, but will not display any author but the original one it was set too. When I deactivate this plugin the WordPress part works perfectly. It is happening when the plugin is active.
So for instance, at the link I sent above the WordPress author field is set to Isaac Adams, AND the custom field name is set to “ppma_authors_name” with a value of “praypodgmail-com”. Click update and the author on the live page still shows the original one, Austin Suter.
Please help and thank you!

Second, thank God I backed up the site before switching themes. After the test when I switched back it messed up my site.
Third, when I switched from Divi to Astra it still doesn’t allow me to switch authors in bulk or single posts. In bulk it’s not even an option that shows anymore unless I deactivate Authors.
In the individual posts I can change the author, but it doesn’t change the author on record in Authors.
Also. on the authors main page, it shows all the authors, but all the “Posts” counts show zero even though thye each have, and thankfully show multiple.
I’d send you screenshots, but this system doesn’t allow it. Here’s the URL though if that helps: https://tothethroneofgrace.org/
And to clarify, I can’t change post OR page authors.
> When I create a new post or page while logged in as the admin, Authors automatically assign it to me and will not let me change it.
We are almost quite sure there is a plugin conflict in this case. Because that is not what is supposed to happen. Please try deactivating all other plugins for testing, and see if the issue disappears. If yes, try to activate the plugin one by one to find the culprit.
> How do I make all of the post titles ALL CAPS on the author pages?
You can do that by applying the below custom CSS
h2.ppma-grid-post-title.entry-title.title a {
text-transform: uppercase;
}
And to be clear, I deactivated every plugin. This only happens when Authors is active. It is 100% an Authors plugin issue, not a conflict. I not only tested it in safe mode, but literally deactivated every single other plugin.
So if I go to “Authors” > “Settings” > ” “Disable the “Authors” box when using “Quick Edit” ” I tried it not checked (what it has been), and checked. Neither work.
