Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Assign Staff as Author for Total version 2.1.2 as active, updated 3mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.0.
Overview
About this plugin
Adds a new field to the post edit screen for all public post types so you can select a “Staff Member” (a post from the staff custom post type) as the “author” of the article to be displayed on the front-end. This will not actually change the author of the post itself but simply change the name displayed on the front-end in the author bio and post meta sections.
Note: This plugin is intended to be used with the Total Theme for WordPress and the Total Theme Core plugin which registers the Staff post type. If you are using it with a different theme that has a built-in staff post type or a different theme using a custom post types plugin to register the staff members, it may or may not work depending how the theme is coded. This plugin hooks into the author_link, the_author and get_the_author_description to make it’s changes.
