Want to show 2 author (1 main and other medically reviewed)

Hi there,

You can try creating a dynamic post meta:

And add the medically reviewed by with the help of custom field similar to the method used in this video:

Hi Leo,

I have 2 questions:

1. Medically Reviewed by Doctor (Author Name) - basically, there are 2 authors that will come. This is what I am doing http://prnt.sc/1ft0dc5 how can I add the second author name?

2. How can I change it at the post level? Means - I don't want to show "Medically reviewed by XX" in all of my posts, there are few posts only where I want to show. And in few posts, it will be "Medically reviewed by ZZ"

Please guide!

1. Have you watched the video I've linked? If not please do so.

You should be able to use the custom field method I used to display the page-hero-intro text. In your case, it would be "Medically reviewed by ZZ" which you can add it manually for each post.

2. If you use the method above, then nothing should show if your custom field is empty.

But how you added this custom field in the individual posts? Video at 1:02

Also, the Text you added in the Value, can I give the links there also?

Please check.

This should help:

As for adding links in custom field, you might need a plugin like Advanced Custom Field.

Hi, I have made the necessary changes.

Now one more question I have. How to show the Author Image of the 2nd author i.e Medically Reviewed by ZZ?

If I add the Dynamic Author Gravatar, whose gravatar will appear?

Hi there,

if you have registered the Custom Fields, then you can add a Dynamic Image Block, and select the Post Meta option, and enter your custom field name in the field provided.

Hi, thank you for the response.

Just want to ask - is there any way to edit the custom field of posts in bulk through Hook or some other way without installing any extra plugin?

Because I have to add the custom field manually on many posts.

Thank you

Hi Sagar,

Using a plugin is the easiest way to deal with this. Just uninstall it once you're done with it.

But if you really must do it without any WordPress plugin, you can still do this assuming you have database access. You can do bulk edit directly on the database. I believe custom fields are stored on wp_postmeta table.

Please suggest me plugin to bulk edit/add the custom field.

this plugin looks good but is not updated from last 2 year

Hi there,

Only other options i have seen are premium - like this one which does a lot more:

Or you may want to look at ACF for your Custom Fields.
And theres this plugin to accompany that which provides bulk editing:
