Molongui

That must be it then: Custom user roles are only supported with the Pro version of the plugin.

To make sure, you can temporary switch the post’s author to a user having a default WP role (Administrator, Editor, Author or Contributor) and check if the author name is displayed in the post’s byline. If it is, the issue is because your users have a custom user role (Writer).

Hi @ylkyrg,

Thanks for reporting this! It’s been addressed and the fix has been included in the next plugin update.

Hi @adrianm10,

Any user whose role has post edition capabilities should be able to change the author for a post. Is that “Editor” role the default one added by WordPress? Does it have the default capabilities WordPress defines?

What if you disable all plugins but Molongui Authorship, can that Editor user see Authors dropdown to switch post’s author? Maybe there is some sort of conflict with another plugin.

Please let us know.

Hi @cynderella,

Thanks for reaching out! By ADA, I assume you mean “Americans with Disabilities Act”, right?

First, and as a disclaimer, let me say that this answer does not, and is not intended to, constitute legal advice; instead, it is just our understanding of what ADA compliance means for a website.

Now, considering that it’s not at all clear how or even if ADA rules will be applied to any particular website, I guess the short answer to your question is no.

However, we do plan to include the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to our code. So, for instance, we will make all hyperlinks have a descriptive anchor text. But there is little more we can do on our code in that regard. Fonts and colors are set by your theme or can be customized with our author box editor. Media content is handled by WordPress and it is you who should provide alt tags and descriptions.

As other users have reported this issue as fixed, we are closing this ticket now. If the issue persists for you, please feel free to reopen it again.

Thanks!

Hi @mahoofarah,

Could you please let us know:

1) Plugin version number you are running
2) Are those two errors happening on the same screen/page?
3) Which page(s) is that?

If you are getting those error messages on your site, could you please share the link to the page displaying them so we can check?

Hi @jrrsantacruz,

I’d say it must be a cache issue. See

1) The file that first declares that function doesn’t exist anymore since version 4.6.0 —which you must be running because the mentioned function is also present on the deprecated functions file.

2) It’s happening on any environment you test

So, are you sure you have cleared all the caches in your installation? Some hosting providers have enabled additional caching mechanisms —other than WP plugins, I mean— that might be loading old files.

Another option would be that the plugin update process failed somehow. Adding new files but not removing the ones that needed deletion. This would be really weird, however.

Anyway, you can always remove the plugin and install it again. Plugin settings will be kept —as long as you didn’t change default plugin configuration regarding data retention upon deletion. But if it is a cache issue, I’m not that sure this will make any difference.

If none of this helps, please provide a list of contents for the plugin folder. You can paste it here or open a support ticket with us here.

Hi @vanetreg,

If I understand correctly, you want to add to add the same author(s) to several posts at once. So all the selected posts have the same authors. Is that so? If it is, that is a premium feature you have available in the Pro version of the plugin.

And you can do it not only with posts, but with any custom post type you need (as long as you have the plugin configured to be active for that/those custom post type(s)).
