Rewrite Guest Author’s Name with Custom Fields

 / Published in: PHP
 

In Functions.php: Now many blogs are publishing other authors also known as guest authors. A lot of these guest authors are one time writers. In this scenario, it is not feasible to create user accounts for them. This trick will let you replace the author name to guest author with the use of a custom field.

  1. add_filter( 'the_author', 'guest_author_name' );
  2. add_filter( 'get_the_author_display_name', 'guest_author_name' );
  3.  
  4. function guest_author_name( $name ) {
  5. global $post;
  6.  
  7. $author = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'guest-author', true );
  8.  
  9. if ( $author )
  10. $name = $author;
  11.  
  12. return $name;
  13. }
