 * Hello I’m probably being a noob but I’m still not sure how this works.
 * Basically I want to be able to add a custom author. An author that does not have
   an account in the wordpress website. Is this possible?
 * I have a custom field with post-author but I want to add custom details name,
   image, social links etc but these authors do not have an account. Adding a non-
   existent username seems irrelevant.
 * Please help.
