Guest Author Name Premium for Contributor Profiles

For WordPress websites where contributors need a byline outside the standard post author field, Guest Author Name Premium builds on (Simply) Guest Author Name with reusable profiles and additional ways to organize and present those credits.

Choose how to record a guest byline

Set a post’s visible byline to one name, several names, or other text. You can link a name to the author’s blog, add a description, and provide an email address for Gravatar. Gravatars and custom URLs are supported.

Reuse profiles across content

Save guest authors to reuse their details across posts, add an author image, and create guest author archives. Guest authors can also be used on pages and supported custom posts, extending the process beyond standard posts. Sites moving an existing setup from the free version can use the conversion process.

Manage and find contributor credits

Use bulk editing to revise guest author assignments across posts. Use coauthors when a piece credits more than one contributor, or filter posts by guest author to find related work. Guest authors and author information can also be included in searches for custom posts and authors, which helps locate content in larger editorial archives.

Choose how author details appear

Use author list and grid shortcodes for directory layouts, or an author box for a dedicated area with contributor details. Elementor author archives support author archive layouts created with Elementor. Separate shortcodes let you place the author name, author link, or author avatar in specific areas of a website.

Installation and setup

Install the WordPress plugin and configure guest author details for your content. Create or reuse a guest author, add the available name, link, description, email, or image information, then assign the author to posts, pages, or supported custom posts. For an existing site, use the conversion process from the free version, then apply author boxes, archives, filters, or shortcodes as needed.

When a post credits more than one contributor, use the coauthor option. For an author directory, choose a list or grid shortcode. Use the name, link, or avatar shortcodes when individual details need separate placement.
