add_action( 'restrict_manage_posts', function ( $post_type ) {
if ( ! post_type_supports( $post_type, 'author' ) || ! current_user_can( 'edit_others_posts' ) ) {
return;
}
wp_dropdown_users( array(
'name' => 'author',
'show_option_all' => 'All authors',
'selected' => isset( $_GET['author'] ) ? absint( $_GET['author'] ) : 0,
'capability' => array( 'edit_posts' ),
