<p>Adds an author box below text when viewing a single article. Idea taken from a <a href="http://smsh.me/7ngf" rel="nofollow ugc">Brian Gardner’s</a> article.</p>
<p>It allows also the author to define links to the external websites like Twitter, Identi.ca, Facebook, Netlog, LinkedIn, Drupal Association and WordPress.Org (included in <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/author-box-reloaded-pack/" rel="ugc">Author Box Reloaded Pack</a>) (REQUIRED). Those external websites are very simple plugins and you can check the them to see how to make your own. At the front-end those will appear as clickable icons.</p>
<p>Starting In version 2.0, theme developers or authors can selectively include Author Box Reloaded using either a Template Tag or a Content Shortcode or even a mix of all this together.</p>
<p><strong>PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE INSTALLATION SECTION HERE AND IN THE <code>readme.txt</code> INCLUDED.</strong></p>

Guest Author

In my case I needed something that would create the admin part an I can then use it on my custom theme. Definitely saved me some time to create my own custom meta boxes for the posts. Needed only to customize the single post template page to show the guest meta information.

Works perfect


The plugin works as advertised and is quite simple and handy. I have one request though. These days nofollowing the URL might be suitable for some admins. So it is missing.


Feature request: nofollow the guest author URL

Add a guest author to any post without needing to register the guest author as a user on your site.
