BuddyPress.org

I am allowing guest posts on my main blog without the guests having to create users. I am trying to implement code that overrides the output of the_author using a custom field, but can’t seem to get it to work.

When I looked in the bp-default single.php I did not see a call to the_author, maybe I missed it, but I’m thinking this could be the issue.

Here is the code I am working with:
`add_filter( ‘the_author’, ‘guest_author_name’ );
add_filter( ‘get_the_author_display_name’, ‘guest_author_name’ );

function guest_author_name( $name ) {
global $post;

$author = get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘guest-author’, true );

if ( $author )
$name = $author;
return $name;
}`

Any ideas on how to get it to work?
