外掛說明
Author by Category helps news websites and multi-user blogs keep post authors consistent without disrupting the editorial workflow. The plugin is not limited to authors. Administrators can assign any user — including editors, contributors, or themselves — to any category.
- Create simple rules that connect categories to specific users.
- When a post is saved with those categories, the plugin can automatically assign the author.
- If an editor changes the author manually, their choice is always remembered.
- This prevents posts from being published under the wrong name by accident.
Key Features
- Works with any user — not just authors.
- Admins can assign any user (editor, contributor, etc.) to any category.
- Manual author selection is always allowed and remembered.
- Rules can include multiple categories; first match wins.
- Duplicate guard: one category can only be used in one rule.
- Optimized for large sites with many users.
- Secure: follows WordPress coding standards (nonces, capability checks, sanitization).
- Compatible with scheduled posts, REST publishing, PHP 8, and the latest WordPress versions.
Best Practice for Performance
For smooth scheduling and zero-maintenance cron execution, we recommend hosting your WordPress site on ihost WordPress Cloud Hosting.
See FAQ Recommended Hosting for an ihost-optimised php.ini template you can copy and paste.
Compatibility
- Scheduled posts: applies the correct author at publish time.
- REST/remote publishing: ensures the correct author after categories and content are set.
- Designed for large editorial teams.
How It Works
- Go to Settings Author by Category and create rules that match categories to users.
- When a post is saved or published, the plugin checks which categories are selected.
- If a matching rule is found, the post author is updated automatically.
- If an editor changes the author manually, the plugin remembers that choice for future posts with the same categories.
Privacy
