# Extra space after first author

 * I’ve altered the separator between the first and last author;
 * `if ( function_exists( 'coauthors_posts_links' ) ) { coauthors_posts_links('',',
   photos by ', '', ''); } else { the_author_posts_link(); }`
 * but I keep getting an extra space after the first authors name ie;
 * Joe Bloggs , photos by Jane Bloggs
 * Any ideas?
    Thanks

 * This [is fixed in 3.0.7](https://github.com/Automattic/Co-Authors-Plus/pull/139).
   Thanks for the report!

 * Dear Daniel Bachhuber,
 * We just updated to the latest version of Co-Authors Plus, and I noticed that 
   we now lack a space before the “and” “(“og” in Norwegian) between the first and
   the last author:
 * e.g.:
    TEKST: KAREN EIMOTOG MADELEINE DALSKLEV
 * [http://psykologisk.no/2014/02/bobo-eksperimentet/](http://psykologisk.no/2014/02/bobo-eksperimentet/)
 * I assume that the update below may be the cause of our problem, so I was wondering
   if there is a simple fix:
 * “3.0.7 (Jan. 27, 2014)
    Bug fix: Remove extraneous space between last two co-
   authors output. Props johnciacia.”
 * Thank you so much for your time and consideration. We very much enjoy using your
   plugin.

 * We have the same issue in spanish after updating the plugin to 3.0.7
 * I find the easiest fix was to update the .po / .mo files
 * Here are my fixed [language files](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5018344/languages.zip).
   I fixed spanish, french (and also deutch IIRC)

 * Thanks for the files, Sergio. I’ve [turned them into a pull request](https://github.com/Automattic/Co-Authors-Plus/pull/175).
 * It appears that the changes are a bit more than what you’re describing here. 
   Can you [review the diff](https://github.com/Automattic/Co-Authors-Plus/pull/175/files)
   and confirm that everything changing should actually be changed?

 * On the contrary, thank you for the plugin!
    Should have looked for the git repository
   first 🙂
 * Some of the diff are part of the files comments, and others, honestly, I don’t
   know, because I didn’t change them at all. All I did was make sure that there
   was a space before and after the ” and ” translation for those given languages.
 * I was using Poedit for OSX.
 * For simplicity, and avoiding code conflict, I can start over, clone the repo,
   edit the files again (only changing the specifi parts relevant to this problem)
   and do the pull request

 * Seems reasonable — localization isn’t my strength, so I don’t know off the top
   of my head the best way to do this.
