Our WordPress plugin is automatically able to recognize the author of a story so that when you push the story to your WordPress, the author shows up automatically under the "Author" section. The plugin looks through the workflow and is able to identify the author by seeing which workflow step has payment on it.
However, we understand that there are times when you have stories with multiple authors and need a way to push that information to WordPress. Our plugin gives you the ability to do this by using tags.
This article will go over the following steps:
Setting up the multiple authors feature within the Contently platform
Mapping the multiple authors feature within your WordPress

1. Once you have successfully set up your WordPress integration, go to the Tags section under your Publication Settings.
