Author title being incorrectly replicated

    Hi,

    I recently updated CRP to its latest version.
    I am experiencing an issue where the Author of the post is being concatenated to every succeeding item displayed by CRP. For e.g :

    Item 1 : Hong Kong democracy and Beijing’s promise by Joseph Cheng
    Item 2 : Hong Kong press freedom under attack by Joseph Cheng by Joseph Cheng
    Item 3 : Hong Kong’s Legislative Council elections, prospects for… by Joseph Cheng by Joseph Cheng by Joseph Cheng

    The author is correct only for the first post and it seems to concatenate the first author to all the proceeding posts. It was working completely fine for version 1.9.0.1

    Can anyone provide any solution to this. Thanks

    Hi,

    Let me do a bit of testing on my end and get back to you. I assume you’ve ticked the option that Adds the Author.
    Are you using the inbuilt “add to posts” or the manual install?

    Hi,

    I have ticked the Add Author checkbox. Without it, it does not display any author information.
    I have added the plugin through the echo_ald_crp(); function in my theme, so it is manual. The issue started appearing after I updated the app and clicked the Rebuild Index button. Thank You.

    Hi RabiJ,

    There is a quick fix to this one. In this line in contextual-related-posts.php, you need to change the .= to just =

    $crp_author .= '<span class="crp_author"> ' . __( ' by ', CRP_LOCAL_NAME ).'<a href="' . $author_link . '">' . $author_name . '</a></span> ';

    to

    $crp_author = '<span class="crp_author"> ' . __( ' by ', CRP_LOCAL_NAME ).'<a href="' . $author_link . '">' . $author_name . '</a></span> ';

    That worked!

    Thanks for confirming. I’m going to add this in the next version.

    Hi there,

    added string ‘: ‘ like this

    ***
    $crp_author = ‘<span class=”crp_author”> ‘ . __( ‘ by ‘, CRP_LOCAL_NAME ). ‘: ‘ .’‘ . $author_name . ‘</span> ‘;
    ***
