 * Hi,
 * I’ve had an open support ticket with another plugin and this was their response…
 * “We did some debugging and this is what we got.
 * The co-authors-plus plugin is waiting for the SQL query to be constructed like
   this:
    wp_posts.post_author = 1
 * But with our Views plugin we actually produce:
    wp_posts.post_author IN (1) The
   reason is that can filter by more than one author.
 * So the real issue here is that co-authors-plus plugin is not covering all possible
   ways that a query filtering by author can be performed using the WordPress API.
 * We really have no way of changing it on our side, but with all this information
   you could request support on their side.”
 * Is this something I’m able to change to rather simply in your plugin as it appears
   I’m at a deadend with Views plugin.
 * Thanks in advance.
