Author name | WordPress.org

Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to edit the author name on my posts to something other than one of the User accounts on my site. We have submissions from others and would like to give them credit. The blog part of my website is: http://ihiqueens.com/index.php/journal/

Additionally, if this is not possible, can I remove the author name so that I can just give credit on the bottom of the article?

Thanks

Hi @fvirga,

It is very simple. You can see this video :

Hope it helps!

Hi @congthien,

When try to do this, the drop down menu for author only shows me current users for my website, but does not give me an option to add another author name

Hi @congthien,

We have 6 authros, but what I’m trying to do is add external author names for certain posts (that are submitted from others rather than from my authors) and give them recognition without having to create a user account for each of them
