You need to have the [Co-Authors Plus](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/co-authors-plus/) plugin installed for this plugin to work properly. The Co-Authors plugin allows you to add more than one author to a particular post. The Genesis framework has an in-built function to display an author box, and the Genesis Co-Authors plugin enables the Genesis author box to detect co-authors and display them in additional author boxes. With this setup, you can create guest authors without creating a user profile for them, just create a ‘Guest Author’ via the Co-Authors Plus plugin, and include that guest author in your post. Genesis Co-Authors Plus will then take care of displaying the guest author/s on the front end. To enable the Genesis author box please follow the [instructions on this website](http://slickwp.com/add-author-box-genesis-blog/). #### Credit Created by Jean Galea.

The excellent Co-Authors Plus plugin was the first leg then got struck with showing multiple Author Boxes on Genesis until I came across the Genesis Co-Authors Plus plug-in which was last updated 2 years ago as at then. Thankfully, it worked smoothly without any stress. Good job.
