Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Cite This Article – Author Box & Citation

An author box is a section of a WordPress post or article that identifies the person or people who wrote it. It commonly includes an author name, author bio, profile image, and other author information. Cite This Article adds those author-box features while also providing an optional reader-facing article citation.

Yes. Cite This Article can be used as a WordPress author bio box with the author's name, biography, and profile image. The citation functionality is optional.

Yes. Multiple authors are supported natively and can be entered manually or resolved automatically from WordPress or a supported author integration.

Yes. Manual guest authors can be added without creating WordPress user accounts. Cite This Article also supports guest authors supplied by integrations such as Co-Authors Plus.

Yes. Open the page and use the Citation details panel in the editor sidebar. Set the author or authors, whether they are a person or an organization, the title, the date, or the site name — and leave anything you don't need to change empty. The panel shows the citation a reader will copy as you type. Posts and pages are covered by the free plugin; custom post types need the premium version.

Because the date WordPress stores for a page is when the draft was created, not when the work was published, and a citation that states the wrong date is worse than one that states none. So pages are cited as undated by default. APA, MLA, Chicago and Harvard write that as n.d.; Web-Native leaves the date out. If a page does have a publication date, untick No date in its Citation details panel and enter it.

Yes. Cite This Article can publish the article citation on its own for sites that already have their own author presentation.

Yes. Author schema is enabled by default for supported content types and can be turned off in settings. It lists every author of the article, with their author page, bio and website.

Yes. Turn on "Show the author profile in the author archive header" and each author's archive page opens with their profile, without the citation. Your theme keeps its own post list and layout.

Yes, with Premium's Publisher Citation Templates. Define the attributes and their order once, then add a citation under each photograph or dataset with the block or the shortcode.
