How to make your author name show on wordpress articled

by Moneyland
6 replies
My author name is showing up in my dashboard but not displayed when the article is published on blog.


I think I may have to insert a code like this

<?php the_author() ?>

Does anyone have any clue as to how I can get this to show?
Thanks

    In your template index under the code for the article you need this:

    PHP Code:
    <small><?php the_author(); ?> am <?php the_time('l,') ?> Date    <?php the_time('j. F Y') ?></small>

    Can you not just go to your admin panel under profile and add you author name there?

      I believe WP (by default) credits the post to whomever signed in and published the post (yes?). If your login name is "admin" --that's who WP will credit the post to. If you want a different name to be credited, create an "author" and then sign in using that author login name.

        Hmm... don't you have the option to add first, last and nickname to ANY user (including the admin himself) and then select in which way you want any of those names to be displayed on posts???

    What the second poster wanted to say: edit your Main Template file (index.php) in your theme. Additionally, you may consider editing the following files:
    - single.php
    - page.php
    - archive.php
