Worked!! Problem solved! 😀

Plug-in is now working fine, and if I de-activate it, the site displays a single author, as it should by default graphene settings!

Once again, thank you very much for all your help! 🙂

kjodle sorry, I have no idea what you just said. 🙂

Daniel, your solution doesn’t seem to work properly because the “if… else” code doesn’t execute. Either that or I didn’t enter it correctly.

Notice how both the original code and the co-authors code execute simultaneously, but the “if… else” function is ignored completely (the lines of code appear on the webpage!)

Here’s how I input it in loop.php:

if ( function_exists( 'coauthors_posts_links' ) ) {

			<?php if ( $post_type->name != 'page' && $graphene_settings['hide_post_author'] != true ) : ?>
			<p class="post-author author vcard">
			<span class="fn nickname">
			by <?php coauthors_posts_links(); ?>
			</span>
			</p>
			<?php endif; ?>

} else {

			<?php /* Post author, not shown if this is a Page post or if admin decides to hide it */ ?>

			<?php if ( $post_type->name != 'page' && $graphene_settings['hide_post_author'] != true ) : ?>

            <p class="post-author author vcard">

				<?php

				/* translators: this is for the author byline, such as 'by John Doe' */

				$author_url = '<a href="' . get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) . '" class="url">' . get_the_author_meta( 'display_name' ) . '</a>';

				printf( __( 'by %s', 'graphene' ), '<span class="fn nickname">' . $author_url . '</span>' );

				?>

			</p>

			<?php endif; ?>

}

I think I fixed it.

1) Your “by” fix worked.
2) I removed echo in the snippet of code you suggested. Now it’s working fine.

<?php if ( $post_type->name != 'page' && $graphene_settings['hide_post_author'] != true ) : ?>
<p class="post-author author vcard">
<span class="fn nickname">
by <?php coauthors_posts_links(); ?>
</span>
</p>
<?php endif; ?>

Just one thing: predictably, if I de-activate Co-Authors, my site gives me a fatal error due to those lines of code in loop.php. I wonder if there is a way to set up the code so that if Co-Authors isn’t active, the original code is used instead.

Kinda what’s suggested in the ‘other notes’ section of the plug-in’s website:

if(function_exists('coauthors_posts_links'))
    coauthors_posts_links();
else
    the_author_posts_link();

…except in a way that the else conditions somehow include the original lines of code I posted above.

I know I might this might be a little bit more complicated, so if it is I’m quite happy with just having the plug-in functioning properly. But it’d be nice to have a ‘clean’ solution to the whole problem. 🙂

Thank you very much for all your help by the way Daniel! 🙂 Much appreciated.

Hi Daniel,

I tried what you suggested, though I had to expand the selection of code I replaced (the snippet I posted above was actually incomplete; replacing just that part gave me a syntax error)

I thus replaced the following:

<?php /* Post author, not shown if this is a Page post or if admin decides to hide it */ ?>

			<?php if ( $post_type->name != 'page' && $graphene_settings['hide_post_author'] != true ) : ?>

            <p class="post-author author vcard">

				<?php

				/* translators: this is for the author byline, such as 'by John Doe' */

				$author_url = '<a href="' . get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) . '" class="url">' . get_the_author_meta( 'display_name' ) . '</a>';

				printf( __( 'by %s', 'graphene' ), '<span class="fn nickname">' . $author_url . '</span>' );

				?>

			</p>

			<?php endif; ?>

with what you suggested,

<?php coauthors_posts_links(); ?>

This the result:
(first JK1 image is with original loop file, JK2 image is modified)

As you can see, I’ve lost the proper formatting as well as the “by” word.

I’d be extremely grateful if you could help me further with this Daniel, though I predict that you taking a look at the FULL loop.php file might be necessary. I’ve posted the original here on pastebin:

Never mind, found the problem.

Turns out it was the PayPerPost tracking code I had inserted before the get_header php command:

<!-- PayPerPost -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://tinyurl.com/2b5ojn"></script>
<!-- PayPerPost -->

Why that made my post column narrower I have no clue, but I’m curious to know. If anyone has any theories I’m all ears.

Anyways, removing the code fixed the problem.

Follow-up: I changed the code for the float:right command: instead of integrating it in comments.php, I inserted the following in my style.css file (as outlined in the plugin install instructions):

img.MyAvatars
{
	float	: 	right;
}

However, I still have the same problem with Firefox: the image overlaps the text. Problem NOT solved.

Dead on the money Aleister! 🙂 I introduced the ‘www’ form in both ‘wordpress address’ and ‘blog address’ in the option menu, and now it’s working fine. Many thanks for your help!

It’s strange though that after I added that 301 redirect code, it tested fine immediately after. Could it be that the site was still in by browser’s cache? (then I guess I must have closed the browser or something, clearing the cache and then it stopped working). Am I guessing correctly or are completely off?

By the way, my theme’s header.php had no links pointing to my website (neither with www or without). Then again, I don’t need to touch that file since everything seems to be working now.
