Assign credit to contributors

Molongui Authorship Pro lets editors attribute WordPress posts and pages to registered users, guest authors, and multiple co-authors. Select contributors in the post editor and arrange their display order. Byline names can link to author pages, and Schema.org markup supports attribution for multi-author content. Add a prefix such as By or a suffix such as et al. to bylines.

Shape author profiles and boxes

Author boxes can display bios, avatars, social links, and related posts. Choose boxed, minimalist, tabbed, or inline layouts, with additional premium layouts available. A live preview editor, responsive styling, custom CSS panel, and editable headings control the presentation. Dynamic bios support rich text, media, HTML, and third-party shortcodes. Pro also includes more than 30 niche social icons alongside the wider social icon selection.

Set boxes to appear before or after content, show them on posts and pages, or place them with a shortcode or Gutenberg block. Custom headings include options such as About the Author and Meet the Expert.

Manage guest contributors

Guest profiles let you credit writers without creating WordPress user accounts. Add a bio, avatar, social links, job title, affiliation, or custom links, then choose the guest in the post editor. Guest authors can appear in linked bylines and author boxes alongside registered users.

Pro adds guest author archive pages, one-click user-to-guest conversion, bulk editing and cloning, REST API support, and import and export utilities. Existing authorship data can be imported from Co-Authors Plus and PublishPress Authors; user avatars can be imported from One User Avatar.

Build author lists and navigation

Create author lists with four layouts and a user role filter. Lists of posts by author have five layouts and pagination. Visitors can search content by author name. You can also disable author pages for registered WordPress users and retrieve author information with shortcodes for page builders.

Custom post types are supported, with conditional display rules based on user roles, tags, and other conditions. The extension also supports AMP and RTL layouts.

Use the Gutenberg blocks

On WordPress 6.3 and later, two blocks let you add authorship to posts and templates. The Author Box block places the configured box where you need it. The Post Byline block shows the authors for the current post and works in the Post Editor, Site Editor, and Query Loop templates. Pro adds prefix and suffix controls to the Post Byline block, along with optional published and updated dates, categories, tags, and comment count.

Molongui Authorship is described as compatible with any theme, Elementor, Divi, and other page builders. Theme-specific templates can affect the styling of author boxes or the display of co-authored posts.
