详情介绍:

Documentation | Live Demo | Shortcodes & Blocks Reference | Changelog | Support Cite This Article helps web publishers make their articles easier to identify, credit, cite and save. It adds author information, reader-facing article citations and citation-aware metadata directly to WordPress posts. Use it for single-author, multi-author or guest-author publishing, or add the Cite This Article panel on its own when your site already has an author presentation. Use it in three ways: Cite This Article also publishes the article information that citation tools need to recognise the work correctly. Title, authors, publication date, publisher or site name and canonical URL can be exposed through citation-aware metadata, so reference managers and other tools do not have to reconstruct the article from a bare page title and URL. Build author boxes for single- or multiple-author posts, add guest authors without creating WordPress accounts, use local images from the WordPress Media Library, or automatically resolve authors and guest authors from Co-Authors Plus. Authors can appear together in one combined author box or in individual author cards, with their own bios and images where available. Each author box can include a Cite This Article panel where readers can copy a formatted article citation or export the article to their reference manager.

常见问题:

What is an author box?

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.

Can I use it just as an author bio box?

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.

Does Cite This Article support multiple authors?

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

Can I add guest authors without creating WordPress accounts?

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.

Can I control how one particular page is cited?

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.

Why do my pages say n.d. instead of a date?

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, which every citation style writes as n.d. If a page does have a publication date, untick No date in its Citation details panel and enter it.

Can I use the citation without the author box?

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

Does it add author schema?

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.

Can the author box appear on author archive pages?

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.

Where can I find documentation?

Start with the Cite This Article documentation. See Multiple Authors and Layout & Styling for additional guidance.
