<p>Author by Category helps news websites and multi-user blogs keep post authors consistent without disrupting the editorial workflow. The plugin is not limited to authors. <strong>Administrators can assign any user — including editors, contributors, or themselves — to any category.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Create simple rules that connect categories to specific users.  </li>
<li>When a post is saved with those categories, the plugin can automatically assign the author.  </li>
<li>If an editor changes the author manually, their choice is always remembered.  </li>
<li>This prevents posts from being published under the wrong name by accident.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Works with any user — not just authors.  </li>
<li>Admins can assign any user (editor, contributor, etc.) to any category.  </li>
<li>Manual author selection is always allowed and remembered.  </li>
<li>Rules can include multiple categories; first match wins.  </li>
<li>Duplicate guard: one category can only be used in one rule.  </li>
<li>Optimized for large sites with many users.  </li>
<li>Secure: follows WordPress coding standards (nonces, capability checks, sanitization).  </li>
<li>Compatible with scheduled posts, REST publishing, PHP 8, and the latest WordPress versions.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Best Practice for Performance</h3>
<p>For smooth scheduling and zero-maintenance cron execution, we recommend hosting your WordPress site on <a href="https://ihost.eco" rel="nofollow ugc">ihost</a> WordPress Cloud Hosting.<br />
See FAQ <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Recommended Hosting for an <strong>ihost-optimised <code>php.ini</code> template</strong> you can copy and paste.</p>
<h3>Compatibility</h3>
<ul>
<li>Scheduled posts: applies the correct author at publish time.  </li>
<li>REST/remote publishing: ensures the correct author after categories and content are set.  </li>
<li>Designed for large editorial teams.</li>
</ul>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<ol>
<li>Go to <strong>Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Author by Category</strong> and create rules that match categories to users.  </li>
<li>When a post is saved or published, the plugin checks which categories are selected.  </li>
<li>If a matching rule is found, the post author is updated automatically.  </li>
<li>If an editor changes the author manually, the plugin remembers that choice for future posts with the same categories.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Privacy</h3>
<p>This plugin does not collect, store, or share any data.</p>
