Two users – one blog

  My sister and I will both be managing our blog. When we post though, it says ‘lmajeed’ posts… However I want it to be so that when I post, it displays my name as author and when my sister posts it displays her name as author of post. Is there a way to do this? Can two accounts be the simultaneous authors of one blog?

  Have you set your sister as an admin too, or are you both logging in with the same ID?

  Your sister must get a wordpress ID (not a blog), then you go to dashboard -> users, and invite her.

  You each need separate accounts. Then whoever owns the blog adds the other as an administrator if you are both to have equal control of the blog. You can also add users as contributors, editors, etc. It depends on how much control you want them to have. Like boblets said, you do all this by going to your dashboard and clicking “users”, then take it from there.
