  This error happened out of the blue and I really have no idea how it happened or how to fix it. I’ve even added another user as an Admin and used that user as an author of a post but the name isn’t displaying either. So, I’m at a loss.

  

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

  “Glad” to know I’m not the only one seeing/experiencing this. In the comment section of the blogs I follow, the commenters’ names and the post author’s name also appear as [1]. I hope the WordPress team can fix this soon.

  Hi folks!

  Apologies for the problem you are facing. As you have figured it out, it is indeed caused by a bug. The developers are already aware of it, and a fix will be deployed soon. You won’t have to do anything to fix the issue on your end.

  Thank you for your patience!
