Using the multiple authors feature on WordPress

Modified on Fri, 21 Jul, 2023 at 12:28 PM

Our WordPress plugin is automatically able to recognize the author of a story so that when you push the story to your WordPress, the author shows up automatically under the "Author" section. The plugin looks through the workflow and is able to identify the author by seeing which workflow step has payment on it.

 

However, we understand that there are times when you have stories with multiple authors and need a way to push that information to WordPress. Our plugin gives you the ability to do this by using tags.

 

This article will go over the following steps:

  1. Setting up the multiple authors feature within the Contently platform

  2. Mapping the multiple authors feature within your WordPress

  3. Assigning multiple authors to a story

 

1. Setting up the multiple authors feature within the Contently platform

1. Once you have successfully set up your WordPress integration, go to the Tags section under your Publication Settings.

 

 2. Create a tag category called "Authors"

3. Create a tag for each author. The tag must follow this format: FirstName@@LastName@@Email.
Example: Jane@@Park@@jpark@example.com



2. Mapping the multiple authors feature within your WordPress

1. Go to your WordPress and select "Contently" from the left sidebar

 

2. Click on your integration and then select "Post type mapping" and then "Configure mapping"

 

3. Under the "Author" section, select the "Authors" tag category from the dropdown menu

 


3. Assigning multiple authors to a story

  1. Go to the Tags tab on the right sidebar
