## Description

Displays authors of a collaboration post in place where only one is shown by default.
Uses custom fields (key=`coauthor`;value=user’s username; one per user). Note: If
it doesn’t automatically display the co-authors you must manually add `if(function_exists(
wt_the_coauthors_link)): wt_the_coauthors_link(); endif;` into your theme (in PHP`
<?php ?>` brackets, of course).

## Installation

 1. Upload `wt-coathors.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. If your theme does not have `the_author()` template tag, manually add `if(function_exists(
    wt_the_coauthors_link)): wt_the_coauthors_link(); endif;` where you want it to 
    appear (in PHP `<?php ?>` brackets, of course)
 4. Finish!
