Add the ability to group / categorize Authors #58
Comments
But for categorizing something that won't work is that a user can be set as part of a group for post, and part of another group in another post. But this is a very specific use case we can fix if required. |
One more request for this:
|
The field could have a setting that when enabled will create two or more sections (one for each option) in the metabox to select authors where we can drag and drop authors on those sections. The result is something like the following prototype: For creating that we have a custom field with 2 options: Author, and Co-authors. The option to group authors is enabled. Only one field should have option activated. In order to active to another one, you need to deactivate the current one. |
Maybe have a setting in the field to only show that for specific post types? So we could have different grouping options (or none) for different post types. |
Thanks @andergmartins. Yes, would be a popular new feature |
One more vote for this from a customer. They want to categorize the Authors for an eCommerce store |
One suggestion from @heyjoecampbell This could be used to define the main author, and also contributors: https://ahrefs.com/blog/trailing-slash/ |
We got another request today from a user that wants to group authors as interviewed people and interviewers on the post.
|
Thumbs up to this. It's something we should do |

The singular digital publishing term "Author" needs to be changed to the broad and inclusive term "Contributor(s)". A single post is likely to contain multiple content elements that were produced in collaboration with multiple content “contributors”. Here's an example of the content elements and likely contributors: Text - writer, editor, fact checker, content concept submitter Each "contributor" should receive credit for their contribution. This plugin could be the trailblazing tool of this fresh approach, providing the infrastructure to recognize “every content contributor”. |
This is becoming our most-requested feature. From today:

"So maybe we could try converting the Authors taxonomy adding the option for hierarchy = true for it? So no much changes would be needed, since a group would still be a taxonomy and the current code to filter or display them could probably mostly be reused. so groups and authors would all be at the same taxonomy ...but that classifies authors globally, not by individual posts/series so according to the issue, maybe you would need 2 big changes there: convert author taxonomy to support hierarchy and a new metadata in the post that groups the |

Hello, I am also looking for this feature. Currently wordpress doesn't offer any similar feature in the Newspaper theme/TagDiv, and your plug-in doesn't offer what I need either (nor does any other plug-in). The suggestions in the thread seem to cover it, but just to add to the group of customers in need, I'm looking to be able to:
All 3 should have an option to include a photo. Webpage example currently uses a custom field to add "medically reviewed by", without profile page template which would allow the profile page to populate all reviewed articles nicely: https://rareparenting.com/what-is-occupational-therapy-for-children/ Thank you!!

Hi - I am also looking for these features:
We also would like Author Schema to be supported:
With Author Schema including more options, including: Supporting users as well as guest authors. Thank you! |
Another vote for this! Being able to include a custom category to filter the author list would enable this software to be used to show a list of "staff" under a certain "department" category. It would save me from needing another plugin to do this, such as Staff List. |
The field should have the following options:
This should allow to create layouts like this on the author box:
Or display the value of the selected item in the box:
