Isn’t this is fairly easy to deal with by using some custom functions to clean up the content prior to saving it? I have filters that modify subject lines, remove whole blocks of promotional text, clean up content, etc.

Is this issue specific to the Share button? (Seems to still be working for me.)

Here’s an example of a loop that will return featured image, some of the built-in fields, plus a custom field (named author_ad_bottom in this example).

<?php
$coauthors = get_coauthors();
foreach( $coauthors as $coauthor ):
echo "author URL: ". get_author_posts_url( $coauthor->ID, $coauthor->user_nicename );
echo "<br>thumbnail: ". get_the_post_thumbnail( $coauthor->ID, array(120,120), array('class' => 'avatar'));
echo "<br>Display name:". get_post_meta($coauthor->ID, 'cap-display_name', true);
echo "<br>website: ".$coauthor->website;
echo "<br>description: ".$coauthor->description;
echo "<br>custom field ". get_post_meta($coauthor->ID, 'author_ad_bottom', true);
echo "<br><br>";
endforeach;
?>

This should be a good start. It worked well in other themes.

// About Author
if(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'post-option-author-info-enabled', true) == "Yes"){
	$coauthors = get_coauthors();
	foreach( $coauthors as $coauthor ):
		echo "<div class='about-author-wrapper'>";
		echo "<div class='about-author-avartar'><a href='". get_author_posts_url( $coauthor->ID, $coauthor->user_nicename )."'>". get_avatar($coauthor->user_email, 90, '', $coauthor->display_name) ."</a></div>";
		echo "<div class='about-author-info'><div class='about-author-title gdl-link-title gdl-title'>". $coauthor->display_name ."</div>";
		echo $coauthor->description;
		echo " View all posts by <a href='". get_author_posts_url( $coauthor->ID, $coauthor->user_nicename )."'>". $coauthor->display_name ."</a>.";
		echo "</div>";
		echo "<div class='clear'></div>";
		echo "</div>";
	endforeach;
}

Happy to help, Daniel. Thanks again for all your hard work!

Here’s what I’ve ended up using:

// About Author
					if(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'post-option-author-info-enabled', true) == "Yes"){
					$coauthors = get_coauthors();
					foreach( $coauthors as $coauthor ):
						echo "<div class='about-author-wrapper'>";
						echo "<div class='about-author-avartar'>". get_avatar($coauthor->user_email, 90) ."</div>";
						echo "<div class='about-author-info'><div class='about-author-title gdl-link-title gdl-title'>". $coauthor->first_name ." ". $coauthor->last_name ."</div>";
						echo $coauthor->description;
						echo "</div>";
						echo "<div class='clear'></div>";
						echo "</div>";
					endforeach;
					}

jh, have you found a solution to this issue?

I am using the following to display author info, but like jh, this code wants to insert a gravatar for the co-authors, even if they don’t have an email defined:

// About Author
					if(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'post-option-author-info-enabled', true) == "Yes"){
					$i = new CoAuthorsIterator();
					while($i->iterate()){
						echo "<div class='about-author-wrapper'>";
						echo "<div class='about-author-avartar'>" . get_avatar( get_the_author_meta('ID'), 90 ) . "</div>";
						echo "<div class='about-author-info'>";
						echo "<div class='about-author-title gdl-link-title gdl-title'>";
						echo the_author_firstname();
						echo " ";
						echo the_author_lastname();
						echo "</div>";
						echo the_author_description();
						echo " All posts by ";
						echo the_author_posts_link('namefl');
						echo "</div>";
						echo "<div class='clear'></div>";
						echo "</div>";
						}
					}

Any ideas how I might show featured image if one is defined for Guest Author?

(Sorry if you’ve addressed this elsewhere, but there are a number of posts looking for similar functionality, but many of them prescribe a different course of action.)

Thanks, Daniel!
