  I’m using WordPress to support a class blog with multiple authors, and the “post-author” dropdown is not showing up at all. Is this because of my theme? I am using 2010.

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

  Hi there – I see it on my end. Can you please make sure you have it enabled in your Screen Options, as described here:

  Thanks! This solved the problem.

  To others who are confused by this: The trick is that you actually have to go the “new post” section of your Dashboard, and *then* change the screen options. The screen options item has different possibilities on each individual page.
