Method 3: Using a Plugin

There are several plugins available that can help you add new authors to WordPress, such as:

• Authorize: This plugin allows you to add new authors and assign them to specific roles, as well as manage existing authors.

To use a plugin, follow these steps:

1. Install and activate the plugin.
2. Go to the plugin's settings page (usually found in the "Settings" menu).
3. Follow the plugin's instructions to add a new author.

Additional Tips

• Make sure to set the new author's role to "Author" or a higher role (such as "Editor" or "Administrator") to give them the necessary permissions to create and manage content.
• You can also add a new author by importing them from another WordPress site or a CSV file using the "Users" import/export feature.
• If you're using a multisite network, you'll need to add the new author to the network instead of a single site.
