Multiple authors not working properly

    When selecting multiple authors for an article, any authors after the first author are being lumped together into one link, which leads to the second author’s profile only.

    The author box also reads as “#molongui-multiauthor-link%7c%7c%7chttp%7c%7c//roar news.co.uk/author/author1%7c%7c%7chttp%7c%7c//roar news.co.uk/author/author2%7c%7c%7chttp%7c%7c//roar news.co.uk/author/author3

    This link only leads to author 1’s page, however.

    The listed author names also all have an “and” affixed to them, i.e. “Author 1 and Author 2 and Author 3”

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @mungerverna,

    you should open a support ticket with us here providing your System Status Report (check here how to get it) or list here the active plugins on your site, as you prefer. This might be a plugin conflict. May be just knowing which plugins you have enabled we can guess which might be causing conflicts so we can look into it.

    Regarding the author box displaying wrong data that is because that author box is displayed by your theme. You should disable it and activate the one provided by our plugin. That way you will get 100% compatibility.

    To let anyone having similar issue know:

    When selecting multiple authors for an article, any authors after the first author are being lumped together into one link, which leads to the second author’s profile only.

    Make sure to de-activate any other authorship plugin you might have. Mungerverna had the Co-authors Plus plugin installed and active. That plugin provides co-authoring features, but it didn’t work well for her so she decided to try out Molongui Authorship. Co-authors Plus conflicts with Molongui Authorship so, as Molongui Authorship provides all the features Co-authors Plus offers and even more, deactivate that plugin and stick to Molongui Authorship.

    The author box also reads as (…)

    Newspaper theme automatically displays an author box at the end of your posts. But it doesn’t support multiple authors. To display a proper author box, 100% customizable and showing all authors information, disable Newspaper’s author box (check here how to) and enable Molongui Authorship’s author box.
