 * I tried adding both functions (read more and author) following instructions here:
   
   [http://www.billerickson.net/code/display-posts-shortcode-show-author/](http://www.billerickson.net/code/display-posts-shortcode-show-author/)
   and here: [http://www.billerickson.net/code/add-read-more-to-display-posts-shortcode/](http://www.billerickson.net/code/add-read-more-to-display-posts-shortcode/)
 * They work if included individually in the functions.php, but they don’t work 
   together. If I add author function the read more link dissapeares. I assume it’s
   because the output is reconstructed in the function.
 * How can I make them work together?
    Many thanks.

 * Combine them into a single function that adds everything you want.

 * OK, so your advice wasn’t so bad after all 🙂 I wrote the function and combined
   it with a custom code in your plugin and got what I wanted. So problem solved.
   Thanks for giving me the right “push”.
