Post CoAuthors

Post CoAuthors is a lightweight and optimized plugin that allows you to assign multiple contributors to any WordPress post. The plugin adds a meta box to the post editor, where administrators, editors, and authors can assign contributors from existing users. All contributor data is stored as post metadata, ensuring compatibility with WordPress standards.

It integrates seamlessly with the WordPress admin UI and provides clean uninstallation by removing all plugin-related metadata.

Features

• Assign multiple contributors to any post.
• Display contributors on the frontend (theme support required).
• Admin UI integration with post editor.
• Clean uninstall – removes plugin data safely.
• Built using WordPress coding standards.
