Great plugin, with one current issue
by sandwichtribunal·1 year ago
I have used this plugin for years. However, it is currently formatting text incorrectly and displaying CSS elements on the page. I have had to remove it from my site. I hope that they fix it because I do like using it, and it appears to be under active development.

After the last update, the author’s name is written in bold and the <strong> text appears next to it. I would be glad if you are interested…

Thanks to the author for this great plugin! It shows neatly the many authors/collaborators that I hive on my website, saving me a LOT of work, if I had to do this manually.
