  As the editor of a friend’s blog my name appeared as the author, how do I change it to show her name not mine. Is there a setting for that?

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

  Hello!

  The latest version of WordPress hides some less commonly-used editing features to free up design space and make your life easier. One of the less commonly used buttons is the one you use to edit a post’s author!

  The easiest way to access it is to log in as the blog’s admin, then “Edit Post” for the post in question. Near the top of your screen is a pull-down tab reading “Screen Options” – click on that, and you’ll see the option to make “Author” a changeable field in your “Edit Post” screen. Check that box, and you’ll see the “Author” drop-down between “Comments” and “Likes and Shares.”

  Here’s a blog post about this: http://ottopress.com/2011/wp-quickie-metaboxes/
