  Hello, I have 2 websites coming from the same login. I am posting blogs to my second website but they are saying the author is the name of my first website. is there a way to change this? or set up multiple authors?

  Hi there,

  Of what sites are you speaking?

  You have three sites that belong to the jonathanaharper username you’re using to post here, so that same username will be listed as the author of posts on all those sites.

  The only way to change this is to create a new account with a different username, and transferring the site you want under a different author to that new account.

  To create a new account, log out of this account first, and create a new account with a different username and email address at https://wordpress.com/start/account/user/

  Then log back in as jonathanaharper and follow these steps to transfer the site to the new account.
