Same idea, different schema and tooling. PublishPress Authors uses its own taxonomy, has tighter integration with the rest of the PublishPress editorial suite and offers a different admin experience. SleekView reads each one natively, with a separate page for Co-Authors Plus, so a site running either gets a tailored ledger view rather than a lowest-common-denominator one.

From the author taxonomy that PublishPress Authors registers and the term relationships it writes to wp_term_relationships, joined with the standard wp_posts table for status, post type and last update. Guest profiles are resolved through the term metadata that PublishPress Authors stores for them.

Yes. Edits use the standard PublishPress Authors API rather than direct term-relationship writes, so any registered actions and filters fire on save. Byline templates, schema markup, RSS feeds and sitemaps refresh on their normal schedule and pick up the new authors as if you had reassigned through the per-post sidebar.

Yes. Guest profiles and WordPress users share one column with a profile type field that tells them apart. Filtering, sorting and reassignment work uniformly across both, and bulk operations such as archiving stale guest profiles are available from the same view as staff-author management.

Yes. Any filtered view exports as CSV with the columns and order you see on screen. Editorial teams typically use this to share quarterly contributor reports with finance, legal or partner relations, since the export carries primary author, co-authors and post counts in one row per byline.

Yes. SleekView is a list view, so it works regardless of which editor each post uses. Posts written in the block editor, the classic editor or a builder all surface in the same byline ledger with their PublishPress Authors data correctly resolved.

Yes. SleekView resolves a count column per author so guest profiles with one or two posts are easy to spot next to staff authors with hundreds. Sorting by count is the fastest way to identify both the heaviest contributors and the long-tail guest profiles ready for cleanup.

Yes. PublishPress Authors can be enabled on any post type, and SleekView mirrors that. If your site bylines case studies, podcast episodes or video posts, those rows appear in the same ledger with their post type as a filterable column for scoped reporting.
