You can use the mshmn_all_post_author_names custom field (post meta) to retrieve all primary authors or contributors assigned under the default role.
A common use case is when you want to define a custom schema.org configuration for a post type, and want to set the post author attribute.

1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/musahimoun directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
3. Use the Musahimoun menu settings to configure the plugin
4. Go to appearance->editor and use the blocks provided by this plugin instead of WordPress default ones or you can use our ready patterns for quick start under “Contributors” pattern category, you can use them in any post single template or author archive template.
5. All Musahimoun blocks must be wrapped by “Musahimoun: contributor query loop” block.
