After the last update of the PublishPress Authors plugin, clicking on an author shows a list of articles, but not of the person we clicked, but of a different one. After disabling the plugin, everything goes back to normal and is ok.
I would really appreciate your help. Thanks in advance! π

I have the same issue. It’s on the backend under posts in the wordpress dashboard. Clicking on the author link in the post admin column shows the wrong posts i.e. different authors.
The same thing seems to be happening on the front end under author archives although I did a little hack to “fix” it in the interim.
Let me know if you have an update or if you need more info
@masterbassie – exactly, clicking on the author shows the wrong posts
@rizaardiyanto – I have version 4.7.4. After entering the author, e.g. https://newslubuski.pl/author/patryks, posts are shown that were not written by him. I bet that this is because I have several guest authors without a user account, but this was not a problem beforeβ¦
@rizaardiyanto i have the same version 4.7.4. I also tried deleting all the guest accounts with no user account on a staging site. DIdn’t fix the issue.
Also note that when I enable the publishpress author pages i get a 500 error on those pages; might be a separate issue.

Same issue. Deactivated all plugins except publishpress authors; the issue remains. As soon as I deactivate publishpress the functionality is back to normal i.e. click on an authors name and it shows their articles.
Something I noticed which is probably correct behavior but wanted to make note of it: when publishpress is active the backend url when clicking on an author is /edit.php?author_name=AUTHORNAME deactivated it is /edit.php?post_type=post&author=513845 AND note when i reactivate the plugin and try to go directly to /edit.php?post_type=post&author=513845 it shows the incorrect list of posts.
So while the plugin is redirecting “correctly” to the author post list url, the actual list is wrong. Not sure if that helps.
