  Some themes are designed to display author bylines and some do not. See author byline and author profile displayed or not > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/08/15/author-displayed-or-not/ In reference to those themes that do display author bylines there must be at least two authors who have both published a post in the blog for the author bylines to display.

  The article includes this advice for multi-author blogs:

  • In multi-author blogs it’s useful to add the Authors widget or the Author Grid widget: allow visitors to sort posts by author.
