Co-Authors Plus Integration

This Extension requires a Pro license

Current version: 1.2.0

Download available with active license

Co-Authors Plus is a plugin built and maintained by Automattic that allows you to define multiple Authors for your content. This extension will index and make searchable all multiple Authors.

Once the extension has been activated, you must rebuild your index on the Advanced tab of the SearchWP settings screen, and then trigger a reindex.

While the index is rebuilding, you’ll notice a number of new Custom Fields in the SearchWP settings dropdown for each post type, they all start with coauthorplus_

By default the extension will index:

  • user_nicename
  • display_name
  • nickname
  • first_name
  • last_name
  • biography

and there are separate entries for each of those, but the extension also bundles all of those fields into a coauthorsplus_any Custom Field if you want to match any of those.

Once the index has rebuilt you will be able to search by Author data as defined by Co-Authors Plus. Searching for configured Author data will return the post(s) written by that author, not the Author archive or a User profile.

  • “Search is sort of important to Google. It’s also essential to the users on your own site. If your users are searching for something on your site and don’t find it, they’re likely going to get upset and leave your site. SearchWP fixes everything.”

  • “We have a fairly complex network of sites. SearchWP is able to give us all the features we need. Works with Multisite, allows for multiple indexes, works with FacetWP, provides us granular control of results. In addition–fantastic customer service!”

  • “The power, control, and best-practices coding approaches upon which SearchWP is built make it the best search feature replacement for WordPress I have ever implemented. The people behind this plugin are simply outstanding, and have earned my loyalty.”
