 * Hello wordpress forum
 * I am new user to wordpress, and are currently trying to make the co author plugin
   work on my wordpress webpage. I’ve installed co-authors and a tool called code
   snippets.
    I’ve seen post saying that I need to locate the_author_post_link and
   replace the code with if ( function_exists( ‘coauthors_posts_links’ ) ) { coauthors_posts_links();}
   else { the_author_posts_link(); }
 * Where exactly do I find this code? Keep in mind I’m very new to this program,
   and have only been doing design to the webpage so far.
    I’ve made a new snippet
   called co-authors and written the code there, not sure that is how its supposed
   to be done… Can anyone guide me through this?
 * Kind regards

 * That’s going to depend on the theme you’re using. You could start by searching
   the files that make up your theme for ‘the_author_posts_link’ to try to help 
   you find it.

 * It’s not “a file” you’re searching for. You want to search among all the files
   that make up the newspaper theme.
