    Simply Guest Author Name Version 3.3

    Hi, I’m using your plug-in “Simply Guest Author Name” on this blog (www.massimovitali.com) and I’m having some problems. Everything works fine for the single blog post, but not for archive pages (ex. http://www.massimovtali.com/press) nor for the blog page (www.massmovitali.com/blog): in the first case, all off the posts show the same author as that of the first article in the list; in the second case, all the posts show the true author of the post – the editor – and not the guest-author. I contacted the theme’s author. He told me that he is always using the same exact code:

    $author = get_post_field( ‘post_author’, $post->ID );
    $author_name = get_the_author_meta( ‘display_name’, $author );
    $author_link = get_author_posts_url( $author );

    Any idea?

    I apologize for not responding earlier. I did not get a notification about this post! Currently the guest author will not show up on an archive page. This is a future enhancement. I suggest in the meantime. that you create a user called “Guest Author” and change the author of the guest author posts to “Guest Author”. That way, the archive posts will show up under that author. You can grab a plugin to switch the author name.

    However, the correct author name should show up on the home page. Your page is down right now, but I will try to duplicate the issue. If you have any further questions, please contact me at adrian@shooflysolutions.com

    Hello, I was wondering if you followed my suggestions and have any feedback for me. Were you able to duplicate this in another theme? Thanks!
