Adding Author Box Meta Links with Co-Authors
I have a site that has multiple authors for a single post, requiring multiple author box bios after the article.
I previously used get_the_author_meta() to pull the user's social media hyperlinks as clickable icons beneath the author description, but when using a foreach loop with co-authors only the first author's social media links are used.
I've tried changing the arguments $author_id to $coauthor_id, but this does not seem to work. Using get_the_co_author just pulls all the css sprite icons without the hyperlinks.
I know the original get_the_author_meta() code works because it still functions on single author posts, I just can't seem to convert it to be compatible with co-authors.
?php
$twitter = get_the_author_meta('twitter', $author_id);
$facebook = get_the_author_meta('facebook', $author_id);
$googleplus = get_the_author_meta('googleplus', $author_id);
$linkedin = get_the_author_meta('linkedin', $author_id);
$instagram = get_the_author_meta('instagram', $author_id);
$youtube = get_the_author_meta('youtube', $author_id);
$email = get_the_author_meta('email', $author_id);
global $post;
$author_id=$post-post_author;
foreach( get_coauthors() as $coauthor ): ?
div class="author-box"

?php echo get_avatar( $coauthor-user_email, '96' ); ?
