Blog Authors

HubSpot Ideas
21

It’s a bit startling that HubSpot doesn’t support this yet, since it’s a pretty basic function in other CMSs, as others have noted.

I reached out ot HubSpot Support seeking a workaround, and got this reply: “At this time, it is not possible to list multiple authors on a single blog post. What you might do in this instance as a workaround is create an additional author profile labeled “Technical Team” or something similar to denote that this was a group collaboration.” Unfortunately, this suggestion won’t work for us, as it is important to us give credit to specific individuals and build their reputation as thought leaders, as others have mentioned here too.

If anyone comes up with a hack or custom code/module to accomplish this, I’d love to know!

I agree, this will be very useful. We often have blog posts with multiple authors. Because we cannot list multiple authors, we have to use a generic “various team members” as the authors and then list them in the text box of the blog post. This does not allow these types of posts to show up on their author page.

23

We need this as well! If anyone has figured out a workaround, please let me know! I hope HubSpot adds this feature soon. It is difficult to explain to authors why they are not getting credit under their profiles.

24

It’s necessary for us.

25

We have a lot of article which are co-authored, so this feature will be super useful

26

Yes please!!

27

Could not agree more. It’s absurd that this functionality doesn’t exist already.

28

Agree as well - I do wonder why such a basic feature does not exist and only a horrible work around is possible.

Support also can also only pinpoint to this entry here.

29

This would be great to have since more and more blogs will be done as collaboration.

30

This feature is necessary for our blog and is angering our co-authors. Please fix this!

31

Definetely missing. I would use it for blog posts, security advisory posts, and events posts for the listing of speakers going on stage. We need this.

32

Most of our blog posts involve a lot of collaboration and it would be ideal to include multiple post authors. Not having the option creates awkward situations where one person gets all the credit for work that involved others. It seems like a minor level of effort to add this capability.

33

I agree this would be so useful. Especially when a client “co-authors” with one of our internal experts.

34

+1. This feels important.

35

Co-authoring an article is pretty common, so I’m surprised to see that adding multiple authors to a blog post isn’t a feature. Hopefully that changes in the near future!

36

Amen!

37

It would be great if we could add more than one author on blog post’s information!

38

This would be absolutely major! Our authors work in teams of two and if only one gets credited, it’s a shame. Would love to get this fixed soon. COME ON, HUBSPOT! You can do it.

39

I agree that adding more authors to a blog post would be great! Sometimes writing a blog post is teamwork and as people already stated, it’s a shame that only one can get a credit for it. Please, make it possible to add more than one blog post author.

Multiple people routinely collaborate (generating content, giving ideas, reviewing, etc.) to pull a blog together. It is appropriate to be able to include the key contributors.

Being able to list them as authors also helps incentivize them to participate.

Please consider adding this capability.

Thank you.
