4.0 Breaks get_coauthors() Function

  • Hey there,

    From what I can tell something within 4.0 breaks the get_coauthors() function to the point where it doesn’t return an object. But what seems to be really interesting is that it only ceases to work on guest authors that have been updated after updating to 4.0.

    Thanks and seriously this is an awesome plugin,
    -Josh

    I got it working again using the “user-login” key for the get_coauthor_by() function on line 19 of the template_tags.php. I don’t know why but something has been going wrong with the ‘user-nicename’ since we upgraded to 4.0…or since we changed something shortly before that. But I can’t think of anything we would have changed that would have messed with that.

    I couldn’t quite trace back where the code goes to get the “user-nicename” or if it tries to derive it from something else. But it does look like there is slightly different info in the DB for users who have been updated since the upgrade. There seems to be _wp_old_slug that equals cap-firstname-lastname in each of the entries, and it’s not there for pre-4.0 entries. Don’t know if that is anything or not.

    Hope this helps somewhat,
    -Josh
