I need to change author of a post in WordPress but unable to find where to change it. Could you please help? – Linda
There are two scenarios you may be looking for. Customize the display name of an author so it is seen as something else. Another scenario is that you have a multi-author wordpress installation and you wish to switch author from Author1 to Author2.
- Login to your WordPress admin dashboard.
- Go to the top right corner and hover the mouse above your name.
- In the menu click Edit My Profile.
- Type your First Name, Last Name, Nickname.
- In the Display name publicly as dropbox, select your desired name.
- Click Update Profile at the bottom of the page.
- Login to your WordPress admin dashboard.
- In the menu click Posts > All Posts.
- Hover your mouse over the post you wish to modify.
- Click Quick Edit.
- In the Author dropbox, select the desired author.
- Click Update.
