As of April 2026, WT Co-authors is a WordPress post plugin with 10 active installations and a 0/5 rating0. It has been downloaded 4.0K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 2.8+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2009. Last updated 16 years ago — may have compatibility concerns. Top alternative: Post Type Switcher.
Displays authors of a collaboration post in place where only one is shown by default. Uses custom fields (key=coauthor;value=user’s username; one per user). Note: If it doesn’t automatically display the co-authors you must manually add if(function_exists(wt_the_coauthors_link)): wt_the_coauthors_link(); endif; into your theme (in PHP <?php ?> brackets, of course).
