 * Hi Daniel.
 * I’m wondering if it’s possible to create extra fields in the ‘Name’ or ‘About
   the Guest Author’ sections of the backend?
 * I’ve created some new fields in the ‘Contact Info’ section. No sweat. but I can’t
   figure out to create new ones in these two sections?
    Furthermore. Is it possible
   to create more sections than the three already there?
 * Great plugin by the way 😉
 * All the best
 * Jesper

 * It’s a custom post type so you can add metaboxes as you would any other CPT (
   e.g. via code or a plugin).
 * I just used ACF to add a WYSIWYG bio field (default was too small/limited for
   the project). Just choose ‘Post Type’ = ‘guest-author’ in the _Location_ settings.

 * Hi Nick.
 * Thank you for your reply.
    However I figured out how to do this in the functions.
   php.
 * This is the solution, if anyone wonders.
 *  if ( in_array( ‘all’, $groups ) || in_array( ‘about’, $groups ) ) {
    $fields_to_return[]
   = array( ‘key’ => ‘favquote’, ‘label’ => ‘Quote’, ‘group’ => ‘about’, );
 * So issue is solved 🙂
