Multiple and guest authors

Cite This Article · WordPress author box and article citation plugin
Present your authors. Make your articles easy to cite.
Add author boxes for standard, guest, and multiple authors, then give readers a ready-to-copy citation for the article they are reading. Cite This Article keeps authorship and article citation together on your WordPress posts.
Free plugin
Author boxes and article citations are built into the free plugin.
Cite This Article handles the core authorship and citation workflow without requiring Pro: resolve the people behind the article, present them clearly, generate the article citation, and let readers copy or export it.
WordPress authors and Co-Authors Plus
Use standard WordPress author profiles or resolve authors and guest authors through Co-Authors Plus.
Combined or individual author boxes
Present contributors together or as individual author cards using available names, bios, roles, images, and profile information.
Ready-to-copy article citations
Generate a reader-facing citation for the current article from its resolved authors and publication metadata.
BibTeX, RIS, and CSL-JSON exports
Let readers copy the formatted citation or export the article as structured reference data for citation and reference tools.
Citation-aware page metadata
Publish citation metadata that helps reference-management tools recognize the article, its authors, and its publication details.
Block and shortcode support
Place Cite This Article through WordPress editing and shortcode workflows where the plugin is supported.
Author-box presentation controls

Advanced placement
Control content position, selectors, hooks, and where the author/citation experience is inserted.

One author identity drives the author box and the article citation.
Cite This Article resolves the authors attached to the post and uses that author collection across the reader-facing author presentation and article citation, so the two stay aligned.
