PublishPress members can now download version 2.0 of the Multiple Authors add-on. This is a major update with a ton of new features and improvements.

If you need to show more than one author for your WordPress content, then this is the solution for you.

The goal of PublishPress is to help WordPress teams create great content. Earlier this year, we made an acquisition that helps us meet that goal. We acquired Bylines, a multi-author plugin for WordPress. Bylines allow you to assign multiple authors to a post and easily publish articles from guest authors.

We will only develop Multiple Authors from this point forward, so if you are a Bylines user, please get ready to move.

The “Authors” screen will show you all the Authors who have written content on your site. There are two kinds of Authors here:

• Authors who are mapped to regular WordPress users can share all their details.
• Guest Authors who don't need an account on your site.

A lot of PublishPress users want the Guest Author feature so they don't have to create a WordPress account for each new writer.
