Plugin Description
With this plugin an author can nicely add an image to its profile (an use it on their posts instead of the avatar). Some different social addresses can be added also by the author. The image, bio and social contact can be placed anywhere in the post (using shortcode or its widget form).
Sometimes you want to add an article from certain person, but not neccesarly register that person as an author to your blog. With this plugin, you simply add that (alter or alternative) author directly when you create or edit the post. In the backend, to wordpress, you are the author (you have such capability), but in all other aspects, in the frontend, the alter author appears as the author of that post.
And if you want to consider more than one author for a post, this plugin let you to do it easily.

This is what we got in the profile page, under Contact Info -if we only had been selected the “Twitter” checkbox in the “Social contact” part of this plugin.
Also, if desired, thanks to the “Profile image” part of this plugin, you can choose to set or upload a profile image and use it instead of your avatar.

If the “alter author” part of this plugin is enabled, the Alternative Author metabox appears.
Once filled (at least the name) and saved, the data of alter author is considered instead of the Author’s.
Name, profile image and description of alter author…
Alongside with the Alternative Author, we have the Multiple Authors; that means the possibility of consider many authors (instead of only one) as the authors of a post. Please, note that you can choose where to use multiple authors: in regular posts, in pages, or in any of your current custom posts.
When we are editing a post, a metabox appears in the sidebar, where other authors of the post can be selected.
Please, note the post published showing the two authors…
And a closer detail… (Note the “Plato & ET. AL.”; Plato is, of course, the main author, and “et. al.” is an abbreviated form of ‘et alia’, Latin for ‘and others’)
