  We have many authors and we need the different bylines to appear. How do we do that?
  Thanks

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

  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 official users who are authors and who both have at least one published post in the blog.

  You either add others with wordpress.com username accounts as them an official blog author or you simply type their byline on the top line in the body of the post.

  Thanks – I wound up switching to a theme that is configured to display a byline – that was the issue. I appreciate the response.
