The Better Docs has errors in displaying the own template (layout-1.php), and instead is loading the template: author.php. The deactivation of Publishpress Authors plugin, solves this issue of Better Docs. * kind regards, Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Plugin Author [Riza Prihananto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rizaprihananto/) * (@rizaprihananto) * [8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uncaught-error-class-multipleauthorsclassesobjectsauthor-not-found/#post-18656648) * Hi [@flaviusv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/flaviusv/) , Thank you for using our plugin. * Could you let us know which version of the plugin that you install on your sit? Do you remember when the issue happened for the first time? Was there any a specific action that you performed right away before the issue appeared? * Thread Starter [flaviopv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/flaviusv/) * (@flaviusv) * [8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uncaught-error-class-multipleauthorsclassesobjectsauthor-not-found/#post-18657218) * Hi, * we are using last version 4.9.1. The issue happened after last update of Publishpress Authors plugin. I guess the Publishpress Authors is replacing the template from the Patterns that was set from FSE and interfere with custom post type because is injecting the author box at document level from knowledge base we created with Betterdocs and with weDocs. This didn’t happened befeore last PPA update. * Plugin Author [Riza Prihananto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rizaprihananto/) * (@rizaprihananto) * [7 months, 4 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uncaught-error-class-multipleauthorsclassesobjectsauthor-not-found/#post-18664884) * Hi [@flaviusv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/flaviusv/) , Thank you for the details. Do you know how to replicate or trigger the error for the first issue? Or did it appear automatically without any action from your end? * Meanwhile, for the Better Docs issue, could you try to disable the Author box by unchecking the options below to see if the issue was caused by the injected author box from PublishPress?

[https://prnt.sc/VEC5KLm8mFI4](https://prnt.sc/VEC5KLm8mFI4) If yes, could you disable it to make sure that the Author box is not applied to the post type. * Plugin Author [Steve Burge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stevejburge/) * (@stevejburge) * [7 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uncaught-error-class-multipleauthorsclassesobjectsauthor-not-found/#post-18688414) * Thanks for using PublishPress.
