Please I need help on how to select multiple authors to a post, I can do it if it’s only one author but I am having issues making multiple authors to a post. I used select method but only published email, I want avatar and name and bio.

You can use a users field:

> **[Users](https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/panel/fields/users)**
>
> A user select field that allows to select one or multiple users

At the end of the page, you can see how to use it in templates to fetch information about the user:

> **[Users](https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/panel/fields/users#how-to-use-in-templates-snippets)**
>
> A user select field that allows to select one or multiple users

Have you tried the example [from the docs](https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/panel/fields/users#how-to-use-in-templates-snippets__multiple-users) that Sonja has linked to above? You can extend that with more function calls like `$user->name()`.

No, there are two examples in the docs, `toUser()` for a single user, and `toUsers()` for multiple users. If you want multiple users, you have to use the second example from the docs.

It would help if you provide your code, blueprint and template.
