Limited Front-end / CX options

I installed several author plugins to feature multiple authors on the same post, and add CX widgets at the beginning and end of posts to display author names. This plugin seemed to work well overall, but I was disappointed by the limited CX options. There are a few CX options out of the box but these options can’t really be customized besides a few limited choices.

Overall, I was pretty far off the design that I wanted and would have had to hire a developer to make CSS changes to be able to use this plugin. The CX widgets were too “large” for my needs, and there was no easy option to insert author names at the beginning of the posts (without it looking a bit clunky). After using this plugin as well as several other “author” plugins for a few days, I decided to go with another plugin that offered better CX widgets.
