Coauthors Plus and Display Posts Shortcode

Great plugin!!

But I’m trying to get my head around getting the display-posts shortcode to be able to take advantage of the Coauthors Plus plugin. I don’t know how familiar you are with it…

I’ve added the “Show Author” you have at http://www.billerickson.net/code/display-posts-shortcode-show-author/ and that works fine… for single authors.

I’ve tried replacing the

get_the_author()

in your code with

get_coauthors()

to no joy.

I know that even if that had worked, if the Coauthors Plus plugin was disabled, it wouldn’t degrade back nicely to the main author.

And of course because everyone wants eggs in their beer, it would be nice to have the option to have the coauthor’s (or even just the author’s)name link to their author’s archive page…

I’ve been staring at this and I know it’s probably right in front of me… but I must be blind as a bat!
