## Часта задаваныя пытанні

### How can I stop Guest Author posts from showing up on my posts feed?

As of 4.0, your guest author posts should no longer show up on your posts feed. 
If you still have this issue:

While the author link ideally should go to the authors web page, your guest author
posts will show up as one of your posts. You can get around the list problem by 
creating a new user called Guest Author. Create your guest author posts under this
user or use an author switch plugin to change the registered author. That way, guest
author posts will show up under the user “Guest Authors” instead of your account.

Please visit the FAQ page on our site at [http://www.shooflysolutions.com/faq/](http://www.shooflysolutions.com/faq/)

Our premium version handles this seamlessly.

### This plugin used to substitute Title Name with Author Name when using Jetpack Publicize. How do I get it back?

This was a bug, but if you were using it as a feature, then you can use this code
below.

    ```
    add_filter('jetpack_open_graph_tags', function( $og_tags ) {
        $id = $this->get_post_id();
        $author = get_post_meta( $id, 'sfly_guest_author_names', true );
        if ( $author && is_singular() )  {

            $og_tags['og:title']           =   $author;
            // any other tags you want to add here
            // for more examples see https://gist.github.com/natebot/6323846
        }
        return $og_tags;
    });
    ```

This plugin does the job simply and efficiently. I’ve tried others, and most are
over-complex for my needs. The developer is very quick to respond to support issues
on the WordPress plugin forum. Updates quickly when necessary. Highly recommended!

Hi, this plugin has a conflict with the WooCommerce Product Quick Edit function.
Whem this plugin is installed the Quick Edit function isnt working anymore, as soon
as I disable this plugin the Quick Edit will work again. Maybe something to look
at for the developer. Had the issue on multiple WooCommerce installs.
