FAQ

The additional authors do not show up in my theme

By default the plugin only stores them; the output is up to the theme, through
do_action( ‘additional_authors_the_authors’ ). Since 1.4.0 it can also extend the
byline a standard theme already renders:

add_filter( 'additional_authors_auto_byline', '__return_true' );

That covers the core/post-author and core/post-author-name blocks used by block
themes such as Twenty Twenty-Four and Twenty Twenty-Five, and the the_author() and
the_author_posts_link() template tags used by classic themes. It is off by default,
because a plugin update should not change what your site outputs.

Two things worth knowing:

Some classic themes — Twenty Twenty-One among them — wrap get_the_author() in a
link they build themselves. The additional names then sit inside that link, which
points at the main author. If per-author links matter to you, output them yourself
with do_action( 'additional_authors_the_authors_posts_links' ) instead.
The core/post-author block is left untouched when its « Show bio » option is on: a
biography belongs to one person, and listing several names above it would read as if
it described all of them.

Can I change how the names are joined?

additional_authors_byline_separator sets the separator (default ,), and
additional_authors_byline_suffix lets you build the whole appended string, for
example to get « Anna, Mark und David »:

add_filter( 'additional_authors_byline_suffix', function ( $suffix, $ids ) {
    $names = array_map( fn( $id ) => get_the_author_meta( 'display_name', $id ), $ids );
    $last  = array_pop( $names );
    return ( $names ? ', ' . implode( ', ', $names ) : '' ) . ' und ' . $last;
}, 10, 2 );
