Created page with "==Installing the plugin== Just browse for it, install it, and enable it! Note that Co-Authors Plus has replaced all previous versions of the co-authors plugins. Its official..."

New page

==Installing the plugin==

Just browse for it, install it, and enable it! Note that Co-Authors Plus has replaced all previous versions of the co-authors plugins. Its official page is here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/co-authors-plus/

==Adding the code to template_tags.php==

See some instructions here: https://vip.wordpress.com/documentation/incorporate-co-authors-plus-template-tags-into-your-theme/

To put the blog into debug mode so we can see errors uncomment the following in wp-config.php

error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', 1);
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true);

Then replace the old code with the replacement code as follows:

Old code from template_tags.php

<nowiki>
if ( ! function_exists( 'accesspresslite_posted_on' ) ) :
/**
* Prints HTML with meta information for the current post-date/time and author.
*/
function accesspresslite_posted_on() {
$time_string = '<time class="entry-date published" datetime="%1$s">%2$s</time>';
if ( get_the_time( 'U' ) !== get_the_modified_time( 'U' ) ) {
$time_string .= '<time class="updated" datetime="%3$s">%4$s</time>';
}

$time_string = sprintf( $time_string,
esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
esc_html( get_the_date() ),
esc_attr( get_the_modified_date( 'c' ) ),
esc_html( get_the_modified_date() )
);

printf( __( 'Posted on %1$s by %2$s', 'accesspresslite' ),
sprintf( '<a href="%1$s" rel="bookmark">%2$s</a>',
esc_url( get_permalink() ),
$time_string
),
sprintf( '<a class="url fn n" href="%1$s">%2$s</a>',
esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
esc_html( get_the_author() )
)
);
}
endif;
</nowiki>
