This shortcode allows you to display the post’s byline anywhere you want, not just below the post’s title, as most themes do.<\/p>\n

It can be used anywhere within WordPress where shortcodes are supported. For most users, this will primarily be within the content of a WordPress post or page or the sidebar.<\/p>\n

The byline can be customized making use of the optional attributes<\/a> this shortcode can take.<\/p>\n

The trivial shortcode to display a Molongui Post Byline looks like this:<\/p>\n

Editor input<\/p>

[molongui_post_byline]<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

As you can see, you get current post byline, showing the name of the author as a link to their archive page.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
