Co-Authors not showing & want to give authority to authors for adding co-authors

Hi there:

But i want every author in my website to add their own co-authors(yes all the authors know each other and wat to work as a good team) for their articles.

The ability to assign authors for a given post requires the edit_others_posts capability for the post type. It appears your authors don’t have this capability. It’s the required capability because if an author can assign themselves to another post, they can edit it.

Second problem: It is not showing up in the post preview or published. As an admin when i add co-authors(search as you type is perfect and the display box is fine) then the published or previewed post should show co-authors.

It sounds like your theme needs to be updated to support displaying Co-Authors. Instructions on how to do so is outside the scope of support provided in this forum.

I’d recommend checking out this documentation, or hiring a developer if you don’t understand the instructions specified.

But the admins are also not able to show co-authors in the preview or published page.

If you can assign Co-Authors, but they don’t appear on the frontend, then you haven’t properly modified your theme.
