Notes

Author Kit is beginner friendly— no code required.
It’s a complete, user-friendly plugin that helps you manage authors with ease. The clean interface saves time and reduces distraction, letting you focus on what matters.

We started as bloggers

As our team and content grew, we realized there wasn’t a simple, beginner-friendly solution to manage authors on blogs, magazines, or multi-author websites.
So we decided to build the tool we wished we had — and that’s how Author Kit was born.

If you run a WordPress blog with multiple Authors, this plugin is for you.

We’re committed to improving Author Kit continuously — and your feedback plays a big role in shaping its future.
Let’s build the most intuitive and powerful author management experience for WordPress, together.

Thanks you
