Hi Casiop3a,

the plugin has no option to achieve that, although it is on our road map, so it will be implemented in a future release.

Anyway, you always have the option to edit the i18n file or directly the source file, although these options are not desirable because the changes will be rewritten by plugin updates. Another option would be using a plugin like “CodeStyling Localization”.

The issue reported here has been fixed on version 1.2.20.

Thank you Gillman for pointing it out.

Yes, you should update to the latest version before applying any change.

Once updated, please, do the following:

1) Open the plugin folder
2) Go to the “includes” file
3) Open the “class-guest-author.php” file
4) Go to line 1067
5) Replace lines from 1067 to 1078 with this piece of code:

$args = array(
	'post_type'      => 'post',
	'author'         => $author_id,
	'orderby'        => $settings[ 'molongui_authorship_related_order_by' ],
	'order'          => $settings[ 'molongui_authorship_related_order' ],
	'posts_per_page' => ( $get_all ? '-1' : $settings[ 'molongui_authorship_related_items' ] ),
	'meta_query'     => array(
		'relation'    => 'OR',
		array(
			'key'     => '_molongui_guest_author',
			'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS',
		),
		array(
			'relation'     => 'AND',
			array(
				'key'      => '_molongui_guest_author',
				'compare'  => 'EXISTS',
			),
			array(
				'key'      => '_molongui_guest_author',
				'value'    => '0',
				'compare'  => '==',
			),
		),
	),
);

6) Empty any cache-system you may have
7) Check if the problem persists

Please, let us know how it goes.

Closing this ticket as solved.

Hi Anachison,

there is nothing broken, just a change on how the author’s name link works. Now it links to an archive author page, as WP does for registered users. Archive author page for guest authors is only available on premium version, so no link for that kind of author on free version.

To keep the link previously used, now a “blog” link is added in the authorbox, so the feature is kept.

Hello Gillman,

the issue has been fixed on version 1.2.18.

The option to edit labels will come in a next update. Meanwhile, if you don’t want the “Blog” link to appear, you can just empty the field “Author link” from the author profile, so no link will appear. Another option would be to go back to version 1.2.16.

Thank you very much.

Hello Gillman,

we have found the bug causing the issue you point out on first place and we will be releasing an update in a few hours.

About the change we made on the behavior of author name’s link, we have planned to add an option to allow you to change the label of the link, so instead of “Blog”, it will display whatever you set. Hopefully, you will like this solution.
