Thanks for that. It works there provided I remove the ?php “embrace” and add a semi-colon.

However, is there a place I can put it so that the author name appears before the sharing buttons?

It must be somewhere inside the get_template_part function, but I cannot work out where that call goes.

Thanks again for your prompt advice. It is much appreciated.

It is quite a challenge navigating the php hierarchy to find the right place to put it. page.php is not high enough.

I just want the author’s name to appear at the end of the author’s content. I could always just type it in. Perhaps that is the best option. What do you think?

Thanks, your answer makes sense. However, I want to put the author on pages as well.

I have found the code I need to print the author info. It is simple:

<?php the_author() ?>

However, if I put this code into the footer.php, this puts it right at the bottom of the page. I would like to put it higher up the page, just before the “Share This” buttons.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the info Lyle.

Yes I can see it on posts (which I had not noticed before), but I cannot see it on pages.

Is there anyway to get to be shown on pages?

All I get is “Proudly sponsored by WordPress”

To fix this, I used an external link to the home page to create a menu item.

Is that the standard fix?

Thanks alordiel! All fixed now.

I reckon that when I tried this I only had Akismet installed.

I now have BuddyPress, Groups and WooCommerce.

I am hosted on a shared environment on easycgi.com.

I got my hosting provider to make changes along lines you suggested. I don’t know what they did, but BuddyPress now installed.
