Replace post_type with custom taxonomy

    I have created a custom taxonomy called “authors,” so that I can change the author of a post. Everything works great, except in my rss feed and a few other places, my name shows as author (since I am the logged in user) instead of my custom author. How do I change the post_author to my custom taxonomy globally?

    Not really something we have control over, like if you’re referring to bylines and whatnot when viewing posts. You’ll need to check on your active theme and the templates used to change out uses of the_author() and whatnot and replace with code that will fetch the term used for the chosen author in this taxonomy.

    Same thing with the RSS feed detail, but I’d need to check on how to potentially do that more, as I haven’t really customized feeds that much in the recent past.
