Admin posts vs Author Posts

    I read a really interesting post by Reggie Nicolay about “Google Authorship Markup and the Beginning of Visual Search Cues.”

    That sent me to my WP Dashboard to find my Author page only to discover that as an Administrator that it didn’t appear as if I had a “author” page.

    Am I missing something?

    my site is https://www.sfsellersedge.com

    I’ve since added another profile for myself, as an author, (no posts to it yet). It seems like a hassle to have two logins (one as admin and one as author). Thoughts anyone?

    Given that your posts seem to be authored by https://sfsellersedge.com/archives/author/Jason I don’t think you have a problem.

    Thanks Ipstenu.

    I initially agreed with you. Unfortunately, my author profile would not display next to my posts. I’ve since created another profile as an author only (not admin). The post under that login shows my profile with the post and allows for anyone to search for other articles by me.

    I’m just wondering if there is a way for Admin posts to display similarly. It’s kludge to have two logins.

    Unfortunately, my author profile would not display next to my posts.

    I’m not sure what that means… If you’re the author of a post, you’re the author.

    Can you link to an admin pot so I can see what you’re talking about?

    So I think I figured it out.

    It seem that when you are the only one posting to a blog, you don’t get the Author blurb when you click through to a single post.

    I discovered this by generating a second user profile of myself and posted. Viola! My blurb and Gravatar appeared next to each post. I deleted the post and the author info next to the posts vanished.

    To fix this, I’ve left the alternate user in place and will post simple event scheduling updates; nothing critical that needs to be associated with an author. That way Twenty-Eleven will read my site as a multi-author blog and display the author info next to posts.

    Thanks for engaging me on this. It pushed me to explore more what was happening.
