    Hi folks,

    I'm unable to get the author to show up on my posts. The author is selected/showing in the author drop down menu when I'm creating the post, but once published, no author is shown. How do I fix this?

    Thanks in advance for your help with this frustrating issue!

    The blog I need help with is rationaldb8.wordpress.com.

    yikes! MODERATOR, would you please fix the title for me? I accidentally left it the same as my previous post. This one should be:

    <b>How do I get the author to show up on my posts?</b>

    Thank you very much, and I'm sorry for the hassle!

    Some themes display author bylines and some do not. You can switch to a theme that does display a byline. http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/08/15/author-displayed-or-not/

    Timethief, I've got it set on "twenty ten" right now - and another blog I'm familiar with also uses that theme, but theirs displays the authors... see: wattsupwiththat.com versus mine: http://rationaldb8.wordpress.com/

    Also, is there any way for me to catch a moderator's attention other than posting as I did above in this thread?

    THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the help you've been giving me today!

    You don't need Staff help for this. Scroll down to "Work-around for single Author bloggers who do wish to have a byline display on their posts" here > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/01/03/wordpress-com-changes-bylines-for-authors/

    Thank you, I'll check the link - although on wattsupwtihthat.com, they use many different authors...

    as to the moderator -- sorry I wasn't clear -- I needed to catch a moderator's attention to get this post's title changed - I had accidentally left it identical to my previous post, so it doesn't match the contents of this post.

    Oh!! I understand now, after reading your tip/educational post.

    That ought to fix the author problem for me!
