Add Author Name

  • I have multiple authors on the Olsen Light theme and I don’t see an author name option to show for each post?

    Thank you.

  • Hi there,
    you can open single.php and content-entry.php and paste
    <?php the_author(); ?>
    before
    <time class="entry-date" itemprop="datePublished" datetime="<?php echo esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ); ?>"><?php echo esc_html( get_the_date() ); ?></time>

    Try installing the WP Editor plugin to enhance the default editor and then navigate to the /themes/olsenlight/ folder to find the file.

    Is there code I can put into a WordPress Add Custom CSS plugin to achieve this (having the author name show up under the post title)?

    Hi there,
    CSS is only meant for styling changes (color change, margins and paddings etc). If you need to show new data from WordPress you will need some html/php like noted above.
