Author Recent Posts
Author Recent Posts plugin displays more posts by an author on a post written by him. This plugin contains a responsive widget to show recent posts by an author on all the single posts which are created by that author. You can show the widget on single posts (not pages) in the sidebar. Additionally, use the shortcode to display the widget within the post content. This plugin is useful when you have multiple authors on your WordPress blog and you wish to display recent posts by the particular author of the post a visitor is currently viewing. With this plugin, you can choose the number of posts to display, show or hide the featured image, alternate image URL, dimensions of the featured image, display the post date or not. You can also show the author name in the title using ‘[author]’ shortcode (without quotes) in widget options. For more detail visit the official page at our website. You can reach to GitHub repo as well for contribution and feature requests. To show this widget inside the content of any single post page, copy and paste the shortcode generated by the widget to that post or use WordPress do_shortcode() function in your theme’s single post page template.
Author by Category
Author by Category helps websites and multi-user blogs keep post authors consistent without disrupting the editorial workflow. This plugin is completely free. Create simple rules that connect categories to specific users. When a post is saved with those categories, the plugin can automatically assign the author. If an editor changes the author manually, their choice is always remembered. This prevents posts from being published under the wrong name by accident. Key Features Works with any user — not just authors. Admins can assign any user (editor, contributor, etc.) to any category. Manual author selection is always allowed and remembered. Rules can include multiple categories; first match wins. Duplicate guard: one category can only be used in one rule. Optimized for large sites with many users. Secure: follows WordPress coding standards (nonces, capability checks, sanitization). Compatible with scheduled posts, REST publishing, PHP 8+, and the latest WordPress versions. Best Practice for Performance For smooth scheduling and zero-maintenance cron execution, we recommend hosting your WordPress site on ihost WordPress Cloud Hosting. See FAQ → Recommended Hosting for an ihost-optimised php.ini template you can copy and paste. Compatibility Scheduled posts: applies the correct author at publish time. REST/remote publishing (for example, MultiPost plugin): ensures the correct author after categories and content are set. Designed for large editorial teams. How It Works Go to Settings → Author by Category and create rules that match categories to users. When a post is saved or published, the plugin checks which categories are selected. If a matching rule is found, the post author is updated automatically. If an editor changes the author manually, the plugin remembers that choice for future posts with the same categories.
