    Hi there :)
    We are a NPO that publishes reviews and pictures of events (sports, music, cultural events). We are in dear need of a 2nd author-field to link/mention the photographer as well, not just the author. Sometimes two people write on an article so we would like to mention 2 writers.
    Is it possible in enfold to make a custom field for “2nd author” or “photographer” that will be displayed in pages?

    When you open a page it should display something like this (and link to the persons infopage)

    17. December 2020 | 1 comment | from Author & Author
    17. December 2020 | 1 comment | from Author & Photographer

    Is that possible?

    And if yes: is it possible to link that page/blog entry to both contributors on their about author-page (resp. enhance the code to list custom-field-entries as well, if they were set in that custom field as 2nd author/photographer)? We would like to give both the credit they deserve for their contribution to an article

    Is there maybe a plugin I haven’t found yet for the solution of my problem?

    Thanks :)

    Hey Michelle,

    There is nothing like that in the theme by default unfortunately, but you should be able to implement it using a plugin like Advanced Custom Fields, or a similar plugin.

    Best regards,

    Thanks – then I have to find out how to use these advanced custom fields and how they will show in the template. Sounds like I have to add code to the template though

    Hi,

    Thank you for the update.

    Would you like to add this in the post page? You may have to modify the includes > loop-index.php file in order to render the custom fields in the post page. But you have to create the custom field first, add a custom value to that field when editing the posts or pages, edit the mentioned template file above, then use the get_field function from the plugin. The following documentation should help.

    Best regards,
    Ismael
