For us, when we query something like this:
new WP_Query([ 'orderby' => 'post_views', 'author' => $co_author_ID ]);It won’t work. It shows no results. It works only with the main author.
Thank you,
Cuong Tran
]]><?php if ( function_exists( 'coauthors_posts_links' ) ) {
coauthors_posts_links();
} else {
the_author_posts_link();
} ?>This outputs the author(s) of a post with their name(s) and a link to each individual’s archive of other posts on the site. Great!
For example, the meta section of a post will display:
“Post written by: Author1Name and Author2Name”
However, I want to add a photo/avatar next to each name to result in something like”
“Post written by: [Author1Photo] Author1Name and [Author2Photo] Author2Name”
I’ve attempted reading through the docs at https://docs.wpvip.com/technical-references/plugins/incorporate-co-authors-plus-template-tags-into-your-theme/ and have tried ‘Example #1’ at https://bekarice.com/adding-co-authors-plus-support-theme/ – but nothing I’ve tried has really worked.
One important note, I AM wishing to maintain the way that ‘coauthors_posts_links’ adds the ‘between’ and ‘betweenLast’ separators (adding in commas and/or an “and” between the names).
Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated
]]>This function uses global authordata, does this plugin extend that or have its own global I can glob onto?
function xxx_get_related_author_posts() {
global $authordata, $post;
$authors_posts = get_posts( array( 'author' => $authordata->ID, 'post__not_in' => array( $post->ID ), 'posts_per_page' => 5 ) );
if ( ! empty( $authors_posts ) ) {
$output = '';
}
foreach ( $authors_posts as $authors_post ) {
$output .= '<div><a href="' . get_permalink( $authors_post->ID ) . '" class="d-flex"><i class="far fa-newspaper"></i> ' . apply_filters( 'the_title', $authors_post->post_title, $authors_post->ID ) . '</a></div>';
}
return $output;
wp_reset_postdata();
}Thanks
]]>Incorrect example
Here’s an example of it working properly:
correct link
The code below is supposed to work like this: for each author, check if they are NOT an administrator. If they are not an administrator, display their bio information (picture, name, description, etc.). If they ARE an administrator, display the basic Immigration Team Info (from the correct link above).
For some reason, when there are multiple authors, it doesn’t display properly. But when the only author is an administrator, it DOES work properly. Any advice would be appreciated!

<?php
if ( !has_category('i-am') ) {

$authorDescription = $coauthor->description;
$authorPosts = get_author_posts_url($authorID);

My expansion of Daniel’s code is:
/**
* Co-authors in RSS and other feeds
* /wp-includes/feed-rss2.php uses the_author(), so we selectively filter the_author value
*/
function db_coauthors_in_rss( $the_author ) {
if ( !is_feed() || !function_exists( 'coauthors') ){
#return coauthors__echo( null, null, null, null, false );
return $the_author;
}
else{
#return "hey hey hey";
return coauthors( null, null, null, null, false );
}
}
add_filter( 'the_author', 'db_coauthors_in_rss');I’ll post any updates here; https://warrengroom.com/wordpress-help/co-authors-wordpress-rss-feeds/
I hope that this helps. Thanks, Daniel 
Here is the code that creates the title (from Twentyfifteen, which I’m customizing):
elseif ( is_author() ) {
$author_id = intval( get_query_var(‘author’) );
$title = sprintf( $args[‘authortitle’], get_bloginfo(‘name’), $args[‘separator’], get_the_author_meta( ‘display_name’, $author_id ) );
$href = get_author_feed_link( $author_id );
How can I display the avatar and description of coauthors using coauthors_wp_list_authors or other proper way?
I have a page using a custom template where I want to list all authors with their image and description, and also show a link to their posts page, but I can’t find a proper way to do that.
