You should uninstall this plugin.

No worries. Thank you for letting me know.

I am really not clear on the issue. The author url should work on a post, out of the box. Try another theme to see if it’s working on that theme. If not, let me know more about your theme.

To clarify, you are writing custom code and not able to retrieve the URL for the guest author? If this is the case, your code looks correct. I do not have enough information to figure out what is going wrong.

This looks correct to me.

Hello! Could you send that code again? I don’t think that it came through properly!

We had to disable the plugin. It’s working fine on other sites, so I have no idea why it was happening.

It will be taken under consideration. Thanks for your input!

Hello,

The guest author meta is stored in the post meta. From first glance, your code looks ok.

You need to use the guest author email address in order to retrieve the avatar. Something like this:

$imageWidth = '150'; //The image size

$imgUrl = 'https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/'.md5($userMail).'?size='.$imageWidth;

You are very welcome!

Here you go:

Authorname

get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘sfly_guest_author_names’, true ));

Email Address

get_post_meta( $id, ‘sfly_guest_author_email’, true );

URL

get_post_meta( $id, ‘sfly_guest_link’, true );

Description/Bio

get_post_meta( $id, ‘sfly_guest_author_description’, true )

I agree that placing it below the image or at the bottom of the post would be a great idea. I would consider adding it as a metadata field also.

Great! Thank you for letting me know!

Where are you entering the shortcode? Are you entering the shortcode in the description field of the category? I notice that this plugin doesn’t seem to work in the description field of a custom taxonomy at all.

Thank you!

I have two quick questions before i proceed. How are you creating your custom archive pages? Are you using a page builder or the theme editor? What theme are you using?
