Great! Thanks for the confirmation and for bringing this to our attention.

Hi @efikkertrca,

Thanks for reaching out and reporting this issue. We have already addressed it and released an update (4.7.9) with the fix.

Could you please update and confirm your guest post bylines are showing the correct information now?

Hey @lookazd,

Thanks for reaching out! Let’s get to it:

List order

There is no way to get it sorted that way, but following your request, we have added a filter so you can have it. It will be available from version 4.7.8, which will be released soon. You just need to add this snippet in your site:

add_filter( 'authorship/get_authors/dont_sort', '__return_true' );

You can add the snippet right away, but remember it will only take effect when you update to version 4.7.8.

List exclusion

You have two options here:

1. Go edit those authors you don’t want to be displayed in the dropdown select and check the “Archive” option for that user. This will prevent the author to be listed in the dropdown (and other places like in the author list displayed by the [molongui_author_list] shortcode that is available in the Pro version of the plugin.
2. Add a filter to exclude them from the dropdown list. For this you need to know the ID of the author and use the appropriate filter, depending on whether the author is a WP user or a guest author:

// Exclude some users from the dropdown.
add_filter( 'authorship/authors_dropdown/exclude_users' , function()
{
  return array( '1', '4', '12', '33' );
});

// Exclude some guest authors from the dropdown.
add_filter( 'authorship/authors_dropdown/exclude_guests', function()
{
  return array( '546', '987' );
});
