If that first field (Name) is empty, then the other fields are disabled. This is to prevent people adding data to those other fields without providing an author name. Makes perfect sense to me. I suspect "crudoadmin" might not have taken the time to really test out what was going on. As for the plug-in itself … works well. Out theme was even able to pull in the image, URL, and description (in the same way it pulls in the image, URL, and Bio from a registered user/author). Which means this plug-in is storing that info in standard Wordpress fields, as opposed to making something up( which was the case with the Simply Guest Author plug-in, which we had to ditch for that very reason). ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9e326a0df5c62225ea9ef6cfd8d21259bbfa3e640db59e1e05c5cafd4ad410dd? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Its a piece of junk](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/its-a-piece-of-junk-2/)󠁿 [crudoadmin](https://profiles.wordpress.org/crudoadmin/) 5. měrca 2021 It only allows to change Author to Guest and ad a name to the author, but it does not allow to add an Avatar (it's greyed out) nor a url (it's also greyed out) and in the post the "guest Author" name is not shown correctly but instead it shows the website's admin user.
