Guest author image

    I’ve tested a number of guest author plugins and yours has worked out the best because it’s light and doesn’t add an author box or extra fields that aren’t needed.

    The site’s theme is a custom theme and the issue I’m running into is the author image is linked to a custom field created using ACF.

    Because of this, the guest author image will not show up.

    Does your plugin have a filter for this? Any advice is appreciated.

    Hi,

    No, sorry 🙁
    We filter pre_get_avatar_data to set the Guest Author so if your theme uses something else to store the author you will need to check if the theme has a filter for the function it uses to obtain the avatar and swap that with the image set in Guest Author, which has it’s ID stored as post_meta BS_guest_author_image_id.

    Thanks for clarifying. Someone else built the theme but I added an else statement with the code for the image on single.php and it now appears and blends seamlessly for the most part with what is already there. I am just sorting out the URL link. They don’t appear to be using avatars at all so I’m leaving it as a custom image.
