autometa’s AUTUA is a simple plugin that uses the following shortcodes:
<ul>
<li><code>[autua]</code> = to reproduce the author name;</li>
<li><code>[autualink]</code> = to reproduce the author link;</li>
<li><code>[autuaguest]</code> = to reproduce the guest link.</li>
</ul>
autometa’s AUTUA is a standalone component of <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/autometa/" rel="ugc">autometa</a> shortcodes pack.

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
