 * Hi
 * I use WPML for movie reviews; I have some co-authors who also write reviews and
   in some cases we review the same movie. Instead of adding the same movie twice
   in WPML, I’d then like to simply combine the multiple reviews into a single entry–
   which is all easy to do, but I’d then also like to add the addition author to
   the post so if people want to search on Reviewer they can still find all reviews
   by that reviewer.
 * Is it possible to add multiple authors to a post in WPML?
 * thanks!

 * Hi Bart,
 * As far as I know there’s no built-in way to have multiple post authors for the
   same post in WordPress; since movies are nothing more than custom WordPress post
   types there is no direct way to achieve this.
 * You may find some plugins doing this in various ways, though, but I don’t know
   to which extend they’ll be useful to you.

 * thanks Charlie – indeed I found some plug-ins that allow for multiple authors
   so may try those.
 * But still a question: I only now noticed that searching on my website on any 
   author’s name doesn’t return any content from WPML? E.g. even searching on my
   own name will only return other post types like news or blog items, but it doesn’t
   show any posts generated from WPML (ie so no reviews show up). Any idea what 
   might be causing this?
 * thanks

 * There’s an option in your Settings panel under General > Movies > Movies in search
   results, set off by default, to allow movies to show in search result. Maybe 
   you didn’t activate this?

 * Yes I have enabled that, and a search on any word or (part of) a title or actor
   etc will show all relevant movies, but a search on (part of) the name of an author
   doesn’t…
 * Even if I click on the hyperlinked author name in a movie (as in a ‘movie’ post
   from WPML) on the website, it will show all entries by that author in all post
   types in wordpress other than movie posts from WPML…?

 * Ok, interesting! I’ll take a look at that. Thanks for reporting!
