  I have a multiple-author site and would like to change the author’s name on one of the published posts to reflect the actual author.

  How do I do this?

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

  Hi,

  You can change the author of the post by using the quick edit option.

  The Quick Edit option will appear below a post title when you hover over the title. You can access it by going to Posts → All Posts in the WP Admin dashboard. Quick Edit lets you modify the post details such as title, slug, date, author, password, privacy, categories, tags, comments, status, and sticky.

  Hope this helps :)

  Oh! I see. The name is on the top of the edit, with a dropdown. I am used to wordpress.org, which has a different edit format.

  Thanks!
