  I’m trying to change author attribution for a post on my blog (which is not yet launched), but the “Post Author” module mentioned in the support pages is not showing up (http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-author/).

  I have two admin accounts on the blog and control them both. I tried changing one admin account to an author account, but this didn’t seem to help. How do I change attribution on the existing post?

  Thanks!

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

  Try editing the Post / Page – then page way down and there should be a little drop down box with the Author displayed – pick a different Author then save changes.

  You’re right that there should be, but it’s not showing up for me. It just says “Last edited by…” and there’s no drop down.

  Don’t know what to say other than check to make sure you are still Admin or at least Editor on the blog – Dashboard >> Users

  I just looked at my site that I am the only person on and the box is still there with just my name as an option – try the browser issues below –
