 * I tried this one but it duplicates first author:
 * <?php $coauthors = get_coauthors(); ?>
    <?php foreach( $coauthors as $coauthor):?
   > —-my author box code here—- <?php endforeach; ?>

 * You need to remove the current author before looping in the foreach or skip it
   inside the loop from being displayed.
 * To check if it’s the first author, you can compare the Id or slug of both authors.
