Activating Co-Author Plus adds some authors as co-authors to past posts

    I recently implemented co-authorship feature on our website and finally tried Co-Author Plus after failing to make my manual code work. For a quick background, I created a “co_writer” taxonomy whose terms basically reflect actual author names. While I’m able to echo author names in the byline of posts where they’re tagged, I’m not able to show these posts in their author archive since I lack the code to do so.

    So I tried Co-Author Plus and voila! It works perfectly. When I tag an author as co-author using the Co-Author Plus field, the same post shows up in either author’s archive. But I have a problem. Some past posts all of a sudden show several authors as being co-authors to them, which is weird as I have not even touched those articles.

    What could be causing this? I’ve deactivated CAP at the moment until someone might be able to shed light on the matter.
