  I just switched the Mimbo Pro theme. I want to take advantage of their Author Details widget. Unfortunately it doesn’t show the right author. Every post shows me even when I open a page by a different author.

  Do the posts need to be new for this widget to work?

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

  Thanks for your response. Here you go:

  You can see the real author Lee at the top with May 3 as the date.

  The widget shows Marko and April 19th as the date.

  I’ve submitted some code that I think will fix this. The wordpress.com team have to review the code so it may take a few days to go live (since it’s a weekend).

  Have a good weekend.

  Thank you so much for your responsiveness, especially over the weekend.

  My first major face lift on my site. I was surprised how easy it was. I’ve already gotten some great comments.

  Thanks again. That fixed the widget.

  Some thoughts for a future release might be to remove the tags from that widget. I may be “tag happy” but in some posts that widget becomes very long. The tags already show up at the bottom of the page too.

  Great – glad that fixed it. Thanks for the feedback as well. I’ll keep that in mind.
