CoAuthor in RSS Feed Fix

I have a fix that allows for guest authors to appear in the WP RSS Feed. Based on the original fix by Daniel Bachhuber here: https://danielbachhuber.com/2011/12/13/co-authors-in-your-rss-feeds/

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 ??
