    Hi all,

    I’ve just installed 3.6.1. I’m using the new 2013 theme for WordPress. For reasons I don’t understand the author name isn’t displaying.

    The public display name option in user profile is set. I switched to the old 2011 theme to see if there was the same problem and there was – no author name appearing. So, as this doesn’t seem to be a problem in the theme code I must be able to change something in the Admin panel to make the author name appear.

    Thanks for your help in Advance.

  • by design, the theme does not post the author info if there is only one author in the site;
    done via a body_class generated in functions.php of the theme, and via a style in style.css…

    possibly using a custom CSS plugin or child theme, add something like this to the styles:

    .single-author .entry-meta .author { display: inline; }

    untested; if that does not work, please post a link to your site, or post in the theme’s direct support section https://www.ads-software.com/support/theme/twentythirteen

    Thanks for the response.

    OK, if that’s normal behavior I can live with that. I just thought I remembered (having played with WP in the past) there always being an author next to the time stamp. It’s not necessary for me to change this behavior at this time if this is normal. It’s a fresh install so I’m just making sure everything is functioning as it’s supposed to.

    I do appreciate the direction for where I can go in the future to find this area in the code and will make a note for future reference.

    Thanks again!
