Programatically Add Guest Author to Post

Hi @jmccallweb

Thanks for using PublishPress Authors.

You could do that using REST API. Here is the documentation about it: https://publishpress.com/knowledge-base/rest-api/

Hope that helps!

Thanks. That looks like it requires the author to already exist, so that you can add by ID. What if this is a new author you need to create first?

Also, is their php method that doesn’t require using the REST API?

I guess I can always add the author term and ppma_authors_name post meta using core functions, but I thought the plugin might have its own function for creating a guest author and attaching him/her to a post.

@jmccallweb Sorry, we do not have a specific function to create guest author and assign it to a post yet.

Thanks. I guess I’ll mark the thread as resolved.

@jmccallweb Thanks, we appreciate you using our plugin
