And we have user names with spaces in them (and others with dots) that we imported from another system.
And that might to be connected to the problem.

We’re getting an error when saving saving posts.

We suspect it has to do with permission levels of the authors.

We had two authors with the same first & last name (but different usernames), and the one with a lower permission level (but higher id#) wouldn’t save.

After saving it, the article was instead showing the name of the person logged in (who was entering the articles). The editor showed no name where the author would be.

When we used the name of the author with higher permission level (and lower id#), it saved fine.

Though, we had another article with a new author (low permission level) and he saved fine.

We made a command called coauthors_fullnames() which does the following.
It counts the number of coauthors in a post and display the byline as follows (Note the positioning of the commas and the ‘and’):

FirstName1 LastName1

FirstName1 LastName1 and FirstName2 LastName2

FirstName1 LastName1, FirstName2 LastName2 and FirstName3 LastName3

FirstName1 LastName1, FirstName2 LastName2, FirstName3 LastName3 and FirstName4 LastName4

and so on.

We changed template-tags.php on our end to display the list of authors (first and last names) for each post with a single command.

It got overwritten in the upgrade.

It might not be a problem on your end. The programmer wrote some code that interacted with the plugin and it seems to have gotten erased in the upgrade.
