Author on post not listing properly

  • Hi all…
    I am actually on 2.7.1. I just posted a story/article on my site (https://www.wikidstory.com) but the author did not list properly. I am signed in as me, the admin, and all the revisions on the post show that I have done them. But at the very bottom of the post, there is a AUTHOR drop down menu. I am not listed in there. Only the other registered authors on my blog are shown there.

    The result is that I cant get ME/MY NAME to be listed as the author, rather it just defaults to the 1st author in the drop down.

    If you have any advice, I would surely appreciate it. Thanks!

    Let us know what does fix the problem. Thanks.

    Hi,

    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’

    Thanks,

    Shane G.
