Pretty Good

The plugin works and is simple, but lacks the ability to upload profile images. Not all guest authors have Gravatar accounts, so this is a significant issue. Other than that, the plugin works well.

Very good Plugin

I really like your plugin. Its a perfect solution to change Author in each page. I just need feature to add custom author photo. Or enable html code in Guest Description. I will do it myself. Thanks for this app.

Very useful plug-in with outstanding customer service!

I am so happy with my Guest Author Name plug-in. It comes with a directory where I can add all my guest authors, add custom pictures, edit names, websites, etc. The developer is very responsive and helpful. Initially, $35 seemed a bit much for a plug-in, but it comes with life-time updates and support, so the price is more than fair. Highly recommended!

You need this plugin if you accept guest posts for your blog

Even if only stylistically, it's so much nicer to see the name of a guest blogger and their headshot, than simply "Guest Contributor". And of course, it's better for your guest contributors to see their name posted. If you were looking to contribute to somebody's blog, wouldn't you want that recognition? Beyond that though, this plugin is very easy to use. And the customer support, should you need it, is highly responsive. The paid version is worth the small outlay as it is easier to use, therefore saves you time. And having the option of not needing a gravatar email address in order to include a guest contributor's headshot, has been great!
