Title: Change Author Author: Martin Teley Published: 1. mai 2014 Last modified: 12. juli 2017 --- Søk gjennom innstikk Dette innstikket **er ikkje testa med dei tre siste utgåvene av WordPress**. Det kan henda det ikkje blir vedlikehalde lenger, og kan ha problem med nyare versjonar av WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/change-author/assets/icon-128x128.png?rev=981625) # Change Author Av [Martin Teley](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mrxthefifth/) [Last ned](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/change-author.zip) * [Detaljar](https://nn.wordpress.org/plugins/change-author/#description) * [Omtalar](https://nn.wordpress.org/plugins/change-author/#reviews) * [Installasjon](https://nn.wordpress.org/plugins/change-author/#installation) * [Utvikling](https://nn.wordpress.org/plugins/change-author/#developers) [Hjelp](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/change-author/) ## Skildring Do you have a blog/website with a lot of contributing authors but you do not want to give them the rights to publish the articles themselves for whatever reason? In that case it would be nice when you are able to give them credit for what they wrote anyway. Since WordPress cannot override the author with a non-author by default, this plugin overrides the Author meta-box with a meta box that can select any user. So whenever you want to place an article that was written by someone else, you just create a user with subscriber role (if he/she hasn’t already) and assign the article to that user! ## Installasjon #### Install via WordPress Admin 1.

Either search for Change Author or upload the zip file and click «Install» 3. After installation, activate it #### Install via FTP 1. First unzip the plugin file 2. Using FTP go to your server’s wp-content/plugins directory 3. Upload the unzipped plugin here 4. Once finished login into your WP Admin and go to Admin > Plugins 5. Look for Change Author and activate it Do I need to configure anything? No, this plugin does not need a settings page. I don’t see the meta box, where is it? Click «Screen Options» at the upper right corner and check the box next to «Author». Why can’t I just type the name of the person I want to credit as author instead of having to use a user account? Well, some themes link the author name to the author archive and that needs a user account to work. So this plugin will not break such theme functions. What post types are supported? All public post types are supported, both built-in and custom. ## Omtalar ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2071c51bb0230a2168e6b6215b544012711cbe97339975384ca2020cc6872621? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Just awesome](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/just-awesome-205/)󠁿 [vnkjoshi](https://profiles.wordpress.org/vnkjoshi/) 3. januar 2019 Work as expected.

However, it is possible to simply filter the options for the author dropdown list like this to get the same result: function add_subscribers_to_dropdown( $query_args, $r ) { $query_args['who'] = ''; return $query_args; } add_filter( ' wp_dropdown_users_args', 'add_subscribers_to_dropdown', 10, 2 ); More details in the user contributed notes for the wp_dropdown_users_args filter. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d59ea39e1386a8a849740683c72750aac37735241c8f159cd753810c91b9f404? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Not Compatible With Latest Version of WP](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-compatible-with-latest-version-of-wp-2/)󠁿 [clicksimply](https://profiles.wordpress.org/clicksimply/) 13. mai 2018 This plugin doesn’t work on the newest versions of Wordpress.
