My clients don’t like the default translation provided for the words “By %s” or “By Author”. I have looked in the .po file provided with the plugin, but I can’t find that string available for translation in the po file.<\/p>\n

In the main plugin php file, could you check to see if the last line of this is creating a bug:<\/p>\n
