  Hello
  I created Gavator profile. I am using 2012 theme. I thought I should see “About Author” box below my posts but that is not the case!! where should I go to enable/disable that feature?

  Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Twenty Twelve (and many other themes on WordPress.com) do not display the author name on blogs with only one author. The point of displaying an author name is to differentiate the posts on an multi-author site. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/are-there-any-plans-to-display-authors-name-in-the-twenty-twelve-theme?replies=15#post-1116153

  Regardless of the theme, and provided the theme is designed to display a byline, bylines will only display now if there are at least two authors who both have at least one published post in the blog. There’s a single author workaround here > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/01/03/wordpress-com-changes-bylines-for-authors/
