    Method guest_author_name() of the plugin contains log output of post id and author name. Tell me please, what is that for?
    Version 4.32 (Stable Tag 4.33)

    function guest_author_name( $name ) {
	$id = $this->get_post_id();
	error_log( 'post-id=' . $id );
	$author = get_post_meta( $id, 'sfly_guest_author_names', true );
	if ( $author ) {
		$name = $author;
		error_log( $author );
	}
	return $name;
}

    The error_log function is used for debugging when logging is turned on in the wp-config file. Looks like this one was used to check the post id.

    Usually error_log is used to send error messages, exceptions. Besides, guest_author_name() method does not handle exceptions, but just gets post id and author name (then returns it).
    Probably it is just a forgotten piece of debug code. Will you remove it?

    It’s also often used by developers to write to the log file for debugging. It is probably just a forgotten piece of debug code. Thanks for pointing it out.

    Thank you.

    Hi @nomadcoder, is this issue to be resolved in an upcoming update? We just encountered the same thing on our website and it ended up filling our log files.
