  Hi there,

  Do you mean you want to post under a different name? Or do you want to publish something contributed by a guest author?

  To have the author name of the post appear as someone else, you’ll need to invite that person as a user on your site. If you add them as a contributor they will be able to write posts, but not publish them. You will publish the posts, but their name will appear as the post author.

  Inviting Contributors, Followers, and Viewers

  There is no other way to have someone else’s name appear on your posts, so if people email you contributions and then you post them, you’ll need to manually add a byline at the start or end of the post, depending who the author is.
