    2020Sometimes you want to add an article from certain person, but not neccesarly register that person as an author to your blog. With this plugin, you simply add that (<em>alter</em> or alternative) author directly when you create or edit the post. In the backend, to wordpress, you are the author (you have such capability), but in all other aspects, in the frontend, the alter author appears as the author of that post.
     21
     22And if you want to consider more than one author for a post, this plugin let you to do it easily.

    3133= So, this is like a three-in-one cabinet plugin? =

    33 Right. Althought imbricated in programming you can distinct three modules or parts: profile image, social contacts, and alter author ("alter" means "other", in Latin). Please, visit the Options page of the plugin to enable or disable any of this parts (alter author is disabled by default)...
     35Right. Althought imbricated in programming you can distinct three modules or parts: profile image, social contacts, and authors -both the alter author ("alter" means "other", in Latin) and the multiple authors. Please, visit the Options page of the plugin to enable or disable any of this parts...

     83= And what about multiple authors? =
     84
     85You only need to select the various authors of your post; that's all. It works with the same shortcode that you put in your theme for the alternative author or for only one author. If the post have many authors, the shortcode simply iterate from one to the next, until finished.
     86
     87Each author being iterated is surrounded by a <em>DIV</em> with the class <em>authorxtra</em>; in order to be stylized as you prefer.
     88
     89Also, you can use the function <em>has_multi_authors</em> in your theme to know if the post have many authors and take decisions in response. For example:
     90
     91    <h3 class="widget-title">
     92        <?php
     93        if (has_multi_authors()) {
     94            _e('About the Authors','olsen-light');
     95        } else {
     96            _e('About the Author','olsen-light');
     97        }
     98        ?>

    83 1. The "Social contact" part in the Options page of this plugin. (Please, note that we checked to include a "Twitter" field in the profile page)...
    84 2. ...So, in the profile page a new field ("Twitter") appears under Contact Info; thanks to the "Social contact" part of this plugin.
     1051. The "Social contact" part in the Options page of this plugin. (Please, note that we checked to include all except a "YouTube" field in the profile page)
     1062. This is what we got in the profile page, under Contact Info -if we only had been selected the "Twitter" checkbox in the "Social contact" part of this plugin.
    851073. Also, if desired, thanks to the "Profile image" part of this plugin, you can choose to set or upload a profile image and use it instead of your avatar.
    861084. Uploading Profile image.
     
    9211410. Once filled (at least the name) and saved, the data of alter author is considered instead of the Author's.
    9311511. Name, profile image and description of alter author...
     11612. Alongside with the Alternative Author, we have the Multiple Authors; that means the possibility of consider many authors (instead of only one) as the authors of a post.
     11713. When we are editing a post, a metabox appears in the sidebar, where other authors of the post can be selected.
     11814. Please, note the post published showing the two authors...
     11915. And a closer detail...
