Hi, I generally would like to know about Generatepress product roadmap as I would like to do an informed decision of extending my GP license.
secondly, is there thoughts/ways to achieve what this tweet highlights? (apart from what is mentioned in tweet with publishPress)
Hi there,
you can build any kind of Post Meta with a GeneratePress Block Element and GenerateBlocks.
Our blocks support many dynamic data types including title, terms, dates ( published and latest ) as well as post meta, term meta and author meta etc.
I can recount a few support topics where we have shown users how to add a "co-author" or reviewed by author in their post meta. So that too is possible today.
However when it comes to co-authors, the question is are they:
a. a true co-author where a single post can be attributed and archived by multiple authors
OR
b. custom meta for displaying another author.
Option b can be done today. Option a is not a native WP function, and ideally it should be.
You can use plugins such as the one by publish press to handle that ( i think ) and they have an API that could be integrated with a GP Block element with very little code.
Linke to API for reference:
