 * WP Version: 4.5.4
    Theme: Uncode Version: 1.4.1 (child) [https://themeforest.net/item/uncode-creative-multiuse-wordpress-theme/13373220](https://themeforest.net/item/uncode-creative-multiuse-wordpress-theme/13373220)
   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](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](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-archive-pages/adrian@shooflysolutions.com?output_format=md)

 * 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!
