How do I display a name with commas in the suffix?

  • Hi. Thanks for creating the Byline plugin–it was just what I was looking for!

    My question is, since the comma is used as a delimiter between authors, how do I add suffixes after a person’s name. For instance: John Smith, MD, PhD
    This adds the degrees as separate authors and places them in the wrong order. I tried adding the commas using the HTML code, but this didn’t solve the problem.

    Thanks!

  • How are you storing suffixes now? I would just add them to the the full byline name. Normally in WordPress without any modification, you’d need to add suffixes to the last name or display name.

    This plugin is not actively supported so I would suggest looking at the new (unrelated) Bylines plugin that is Daniel Bachhuber’s successor to CoAuthors Plus. If you’re doing anything serious with a multi author site you want to maintain for a long time, this is probably the best way to go.

    Dan’s right — I haven’t done any updates to this and am not writing any code to patch it at the moment.

    However, you should be able to add commas to a byline name entry by editing the byline term at yoursite.com/wp-admin/term.php?taxonomy=byline

    Hope that helps. Daniel’s solution looks cool too if you want something more actively updated/supported. Feel free to contact me directly if you need anything.
