   I am trying the co-author plus plugin and wonder how the template can be modified to show all authors as individual sections
   ie
   Author one: description
   Author two: description

   Hey,
   I don't know the plugin and how it outputs the author info but basically it should be possible to output the text above or below the related post section. Open up single.php and and insert the co-author plus plugin function/code above or below following code:
   

   //show related posts if there are any
   				get_template_part( 'includes/related-posts');

   I always try to share code with others so here is what I came up with. Once you have the plugin installed and have several authors for a post, the authors will show below the post with their photo to the left and their bio description on the right. Open single.php and replace the code after the author-info part. I also have another plug in called user photo that enables you to add profile photos to your authors.
   

   <div class="author-info">
     <h3>
       <?php _e('About the author(s)','newscast'); ?>
     </h3>
     <?php
   	        $description = get_the_author_description();
   	        if($description  != '')
   	        {
   	        	echo $description;
   	        }
   	        else
   	        {
   	        	_e('The author didnt add any Information to his profile yet','newscast');
   	        }
   
   	        ?>
   	<?php
   		$i = new CoAuthorsIterator();
   		print $i->count() == 1 ? 'Author: ' : 'Authors: ';
   		$i->iterate();
   		the_author(); echo"<br/><br/><br/>";
   		while($i->iterate()){
       	print $i->is_last() ? ' ' : ', ';
   	?>
   	</div><div class="gravatar">
        <?php
   		$author_email = get_the_author_email();
   		userphoto_the_author_thumbnail();
   		the_author_posts_link();
   	?>
       </div> <div class="author-info"><?php
   		$description = get_the_author_description();echo $description; echo "<br>";
   		}
    		?>
   </div>

   I hope this helps others who want to show photos and bios for multiple authors on posts

   EDIT: mods please move this to newscast, I posted it in brightbox it should be in newscast, thanks
