Molongui

Do you have a staging site? Would it be possible to have admin access to that site? I’d say it may have something to do with a plugin conflict and we need to debug it. If you are willing to share access, could you please open a support ticket here?

Hi @digitalmediafbm2021,

Could you tell which URL in your site is throwing those warnings? And is there a way we can get to see the full content of your posts?

Please let us know.

Hi @goodereader,

Could you tell which URL in your site is throwing those warnings?

Hi @kimomalcolmx,

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues with the plugin after the last WordPress update (do you mean WP 6.4.3?). We strive to ensure our plugin works seamlessly with all updates, so it’s concerning to hear about these critical issues.

To better assist you and resolve the problem, could you please provide more details about the errors you’re encountering? This will help us pinpoint the issue and work on a solution promptly. Additionally, for faster support, feel free to reach out to our dedicated support team by opening a support ticket here or here. We’re here to help!

Looking forward to hearing from you soon so we can get everything sorted out.

Hi @alefnula,

Thanks for reaching out! Yes, that was introduced as a security measure to avoid any unprivileged author publishing content in the name of others. Latest release (4.7.10) includes a hook so you can bypass that constraint. Just add this snippet to the Custom PHP option in the Authors > Settings > Advanced screen (or any other place you prefer, like in your child theme’s functions.php file):

add_filter( 'authorship/post_as_other_author', '__return_true' );

That should do it!

We are closing this ticket as we have not heard back from you for the last three days. Kindly contact us again if there is any issue in the future. We would love to help you in this same thread.

Thanks!

Great! Thanks for the confirmation and for bringing this to our attention.

Hi Ahmad,

We replied to the ticket you open with us regarding the same issue you describe here. But we haven’t heard from you. So I’m pasting here our answer:

I don’t see any author box on your frontpage, so I guess you mean the “frontend”. If I check any of your posts, I see that the author box displayed at the bottom is not rendered by our plugin, but your theme. Please use the author box provided by our plugin to display the correct author information. You can enable our author boxes at: Authors > Settings > Author Box. There, you will see the option (the first one) to enable our author boxes. Once it is enabled, find the Display panel and make sure to pick “Posts” for the “Automatically show the author box on all:” setting. And Save Settings.

Are our author boxes being displayed now in your posts?

Please let us know so we can provide further assistance.

Hi @efikkertrca,

Thanks for reaching out and reporting this issue. We have already addressed it and released an update (4.7.9) with the fix.

Could you please update and confirm your guest post bylines are showing the correct information now?

The upcoming update will allow you to:

1. Get the list of authors sorted the way you described as long as you include the provided PHP snippet.
2. Add custom PHP snippets so you don’t need to edit your child theme’s function.php file nor install any third party plugin. However, the snippets you enter here will only be run on your frontend.

So yes, I’m afraid that in order to add the provided snippet you either need to edit your files or add a plugin that allows you to run custom PHP snippets.

Hey @lookazd,

Thanks for reaching out! Let’s get to it:

List order

There is no way to get it sorted that way, but following your request, we have added a filter so you can have it. It will be available from version 4.7.8, which will be released soon. You just need to add this snippet in your site:

add_filter( 'authorship/get_authors/dont_sort', '__return_true' );

You can add the snippet right away, but remember it will only take effect when you update to version 4.7.8.

List exclusion

You have two options here:

1. Go edit those authors you don’t want to be displayed in the dropdown select and check the “Archive” option for that user. This will prevent the author to be listed in the dropdown (and other places like in the author list displayed by the [molongui_author_list] shortcode that is available in the Pro version of the plugin.
2. Add a filter to exclude them from the dropdown list. For this you need to know the ID of the author and use the appropriate filter, depending on whether the author is a WP user or a guest author:

// Exclude some users from the dropdown.
add_filter( 'authorship/authors_dropdown/exclude_users' , function()
{
  return array( '1', '4', '12', '33' );
});

// Exclude some guest authors from the dropdown.
add_filter( 'authorship/authors_dropdown/exclude_guests', function()
{
  return array( '546', '987' );
});

We are closing this ticket as we have not heard back from you for a week. Kindly contact us again if there is any issue in the future. We would love to help you in this same thread.

Hi @useraccount99,

Thanks for reaching out! I assume you get that message on the edit user screen in your Dashboard, is that right?

If you save changes for that user and reload the page, is that message still displayed?

We have just released it. Version 4.7.6. Remember to flush your cache (if any) after updating.

Please let us know if it is working fine now.
