Tell us what you are trying to do?

We have a site built that uses Toolset for custom user profiles with custom fields that appear in various places such as here: hidden link and one individual blog posts such as this: hidden link

And then again on individual user profile pages such as this: hidden link

These are all linked together on the username.

Users are able to create blog posts as authors but generally, an editor will create a post and then just assign it to an individual user and this works well.

What we'd like to be able to do, is to assign certain posts to multiple authors, in the event they were co-written articles. How can we most easily accomplish this without messing up the system we have in place?

Thank you

Hello,

Thank you for getting in touch.

This isn't something that is natively possible, however you can follow the instructions in the article below as it provides a comprehensive tutorial on how to add multiple authors to 1 post.
