Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

[SOLVED] Customize Byline for each post?

Hi,

Thanks for the great theme!

I was hoping to customize the byline. Specifically, I would like to change the author with text added in a custom field (so that I don't have to create a new user for each author).

I found some code that works in another blog I have, but for some reason it is breaking Atahualpa when I post the code in functions.php. Does anyone have some code that changes the author in the byline? Or does anyone have any idea why the code below isn't working:

PHP Code:
add_filter'the_author''guest_author_name' );
add_filter'get_the_author_display_name''guest_author_name' );

function 
guest_author_name$name ) {
global 
$post;

$author get_post_meta$post->ID'guest-author'true );

if ( 
$author )
$name $author;

return 
$name;} 

Thanks!

Is this custom text coming from the post? if so, why not use the %meta% option in teh byline.
