* As you can see:
1. HTML head content is shifted to
2. Content of the shortcode is displayed twice
* Even if I try to disable all other plugins it does not help. The HTML structure
is still broken. Co-Authors Plus Troubleshooting Mode does not help either, it
just activates parent theme without the shortcode.
* I’ll be glad for any suggestions or ideas on how can I fix it. Thank you.
* WP Version 6.3.1
Co-Authors Plus Version 3.5.15Twenty Twenty-Three Version: 1.2

* That PR hasn’t been merged yet, so unless you’re running that PR’s branch (unlikely),
then it’s not that.
* The default behaviour of the `coauthors_links()` function is to echo immediately,
which doesn’t work for what you need with shortcodes.
* Try:
* ```wp-block-code
add_shortcode( 'post_coauthors', 'myshortcode_coauthor' );
function myshortcode_coauthor() {
return coauthors_links(null, null, null, null, false);
}
```

* Thank you very much for your help. Your shortcode works.
