Hi,
I used one of your recommended contractors, and asked him to refine a setup I had created, where two or more authors are displayed along with their content, and also lists the article on their personal pages. He solved the issue to a degree, but is now not responding to request of fine-tuning the issue.
More often than not, the same author is displayed twice, rather than the two individual authors.
Can you please take a look at the site and give me a hint on how I should fix this?
Aloha,
Lars
Below is my request to Umberto Zanesi, the contractor who created the existing scheme:

Dear Umberto,
Happy New Year!
Would you kindly take a look at your recent job with my site hidden link? There is a flaw in the two-author logic, and I am unable to find a fix. This page, hidden link, for instance, will never show Todd Speidell as one of the authors. Likewise, this page, hidden link, does the same, never showing the first author, Peter T. Dunlap.
I would greatly appreciate your help fixing this – your login is still “zanesiadmin” 😊
Aloha,
Lars

Hi Lars
We are talking about the author bios that appear in the right sidebar, yes?
These posts are generated with the Content Template "Article_Template_3". The first author bio appears to be generated by a View "author-image-by-article".
That queries the Writers post type, and which writer is returned looks to be determined by a taxonomy filter, that the WriterID should be the same as the current post in the loop (screenshot).
I don't understand what logic underpins this. I guess you are supposed when editing the post to set the WriterID to the first author.
When I check your post I see that you have set two authors with the WriterID taxonomy, but the View is designed to show just one author, and if there are two set it might not be the correct one. Perhaps update the post to only set WriterID to the first author.
