Molongui Authorship – Author Boxes, Guest Authors & Co-Authors for WordPress


We used both free and pro versions.



The plugin has major performance issues for sites with large userbase.



It will likely work fast when you have up to 10 users registered on your site but once you have 200k users list it will bring issues.



Post admin becomes slow, page admin becomes slow. Front pages also add slow quires that kill your site performance when loading that pages.



We submitted ticket to support forum. Developer offered some solutions that finally didn't work.



We though it could be resolved via public updates but pity, never happened almost after a year wait. We would use it if developer had the ability to optimize queries properly and not going through all user list when making queries on each page and in pages admin.



Thank you!



UPD: changed on July 2024 to 4 stars since plugin author managed to fix performance problem reported. 


performance problems unresolved after 8 mo
