    Hey guys, whenever I author a post on my site (www.blueseatblogs.com), it comes up as from a different author. I’m the admin of the page, and my display name is listed as Dave. However, whenever I post, it comes up as a different author (Mike).

    Interestingly enough, when I tried to change it manually by editing the post author, my name doesn’t even come up as a choice.

    Any ideas? Thanks.

  • Interestingly enough, when I tried to change it manually by editing the post author, my name doesn’t even come up as a choice.

    This is one avenue that usually fixes that problem:
    1.Create new admin user (e.g. newadmin) with Administrator Role
    2.Login as ‘newadmin’
    3.Degrade the old ‘admin’ user to Role of Subscriber and Save
    4.Promote the old ‘admin’ back to Administrator Role and Save
    5.Login as the old ‘admin’

    If that doesn’t work try:
    1.Create a new admin user (e.g. newadmin) with Administrator Role
    2.Login as ‘newadmin’
    3.Delete the old ‘admin’ user and assign any posts to ‘newadmin’
    4. Create ‘admin’ user with Administrator Role
    5. Login as ‘admin’
    6. Delete ‘newadmin’ user and assign posts to ‘admin’
