Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Wordpress suggested adding this plug-in to the Wikimedia Technology Blog to help us manage multiple co-authors. They said it is on the Wikimedia Foundation Blog. Is it possible to add this?

Does adding this plugin require another security review?

@Aklapper doubtful. It is already on the Wikimedia Foundation website and has been through a security review for that.

@srodlund I finally tracked down the source of the big "published by" section. It turns out that this was caused by this setting:

Toggling it off did the needful. That whole "content options" section is not in the settings for my local testing blog. I'm not exactly sure which plugin makes it active on the live site.

I also added this hunk of custom css to make things look right until we have 2+ authors on published posts:

/* T248129: Always show authors (only needed until we have 2+ authors on published posts) */
body:not(.group-blog) .entry-meta .author {
    display: inline;
}
