 * Hi, this plugin constantly duplicates users as guest authors. In Authors > Settings
   > Author Profiles, Enable Guest Authors is unchecked.
 * That makes is difficult to assign the right authors to posts and is causing wrong
   and incomplete info about the author on front end.
 * How to fix this?

 * Hi [@jackoneill](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jackoneill/)
 * Thanks for using PublishPress Authors.
 * This is not common behavior of our plugin.
 * Can you try basic troubleshooting like deactivate all plugins except PublishPress
   Authors and change to default WordPress theme?
 * Let me know if the issue persists.
 * Thanks,
