Description
From Lisa Rhody (who is currently unable to log into Redmine):
I was working on updating pages on the website, when I realized that there is a new bug that has emerged on the GCDI site. For some reason, my name is being replaced with Patrick Sweeney's. You can see the error on the PDIG post from December: https://gcdi.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2025/12/22/call-for-applications-provosts-digital-innovation-grants/. The post is pulling the correct pronouns, but not the correct name. I have gone into the site and tried to update the value in the name field. As far as I can tell, this is not happening with other author names on the site.

The issue was due to having the Co-Authors Plus plugin activated on the GCDI site. Since it does not look like the plugin was in use, I deactivated it. Now Lisa's name is displaying as before.
If we want to use Co-Authors Plus on the GCDI site, we might have to make some changes to the theme to ensure that the correct author is displayed.
