Hello there,

I found a solution. In functions.php of the child theme I added this filter:

if( function_exists('get_coauthors') ) {
    add_filter( 'avf_author_name', 'masonry_filter_authors', 10, 2 );
    
    function masonry_filter_authors( $author, $post ) {
        $coauthors = get_coauthors( $post->ID );
        $authorsCollection = array();
        foreach( $coauthors as $coauthor ) {
            if( $coauthor->display_name ) {
                $authorsCollection[] = $coauthor->display_name;
            }
        }
        return implode(', ', $authorsCollection);
    }
}

and I had to change (via child theme overload) helper-masonry.php slightly in line 394:

$author = apply_filters('avf_author_name', get_the_author_meta('display_name', $entry->post_author), $entry);

the important part is the last $entry at the end.

Hope this is a sound solution, and that it might help someone!

all the best,

Markus

Hi Elliott,

Thanks so much, that already helped a lot!

I added your add_filter function to functions.php of my child theme and now multiple authors are shown.

Unfortunately all Masonry items now show the author(s) of the current page that contains the Masonry item, whereas it should show the author(s) of the blog post each respective Masonry item is representing.

Just to avoid any confusion:
The page containing the Masonry item was created by “Jack” and “John”. Currently all Masonry items display “by Jack and John”, even if the posts they link to were created by other people.

Any tips how I can display the correct authors for each individual Masonry item?

Thank you!
Markus
