how can an administator add a user post

  • hello

    i am the administrator (super user) on a site and i want to be able to add other user’s articles to the site. but i dont want the authors to be able to add the articles themselves ( i.e i am trying to prevent people from deleting/amending published articles)

    so i basically want to be able to upload their articles myself – and then attribute the article to them.

    i realize that a way to do this is to log in using their name etc. but this seems long winded to me, especially when i want to upload several different articles by several different authors.

    is there a simpler way to do it.

    regards

    Andreea

  • Sounds like you don’t want the authors to touch the articles after publishing them, but you still want to give the credit back to the authors. I will suggest the solution below:
    – list the authors of the article in your posts explicitly
    – add authors as tags
    – create categories for authors

    People will be able to use tags or categories to find all the articles by the same author. People will also be able to search the name and find associated articles.

    Thanks.

    Hey chienyi

    thank you for the advice. but how do i list the authors of articles.

    i mean when i upload an article it lists me as the author. i dont want to be listed as the author. i want the writer to be listed as the author.

    Not sure if this is a good solution, but you can create accounts with authors’ names but not give them the login credentials. Then you can assign the articles to the authors.
