Authors are specified by either ID or slug. Each link will point to the post archive for each user. See other parts of the documentation for example usage and capabilities.

That documentation covers the template tag and hook provided by the plugin. As an overview, this is the template tag provided by the plugin: * `c2c_linkify_authors()` : Display links to each of any number of authors specified via author IDs/slugs. You can customize text to show before and/or after the entire listing, between each author, and what to display (if anything) when no authors are listed. This is the hook provided by the plugin: * `c2c_linkify_authors` : Allows use of an alternative approach to safely invoke` c2c_linkify_authors()` in such a way that if the plugin were deactivated or deleted, then your calls to the function wonÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t cause errors in your site. ### 2.5 _(2025-04-24)_ * Hardening: Prevent unsafe markup from being output * Update widget base class to v006: - Hardening: Prevent unsafe markup from being output - Change: Include version number in class name to prevent using older version - Change: Move PHPCS-related inline comment with the associated `phpcs:ignore` comment * Change: Note compatibility through WP 6.8+ * Change: Note compatibility through PHP 8.3+ * Change: Update copyright date (2025) * Unit tests: - Change: Remove vestiges of testing for now-removed `linkify_authors()` - Change: Explicitly define return type for overridden methods #### 2.4 (2024-08-15) Highlights: This recommended release features improvements to widget implementation, adds some hardening measures, notes compatibility through WP 6.6+, removes unit tests from release packaging, updates copyright date (2024), and other code improvements and minor changes.
