Why is my name always shown even if blog entry is posted by someone else?

    I have created a wordpress blogsite. I am administrator. My husband is ‘editor’.
    We both write blog posts. I use the wordpress android app. My husband uses his iphone mail app and sends mail.
    All our blog posts appear as ‘posted by Annette’.
    Why is that?
    We would like the blog posts to be ‘posted by’ my husband for his posts.

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

    Hi there, Are you both logged in with the same username account? Is your husband posting via email using the email address on file for your account rather than his own username account?

    Let us know and we’ll try to help further.

    No he is logged in as himself.
    He uses his own mailaccount.

    Hi there,

    Please make sure that your husband is logged in to their WordPress.com account and that he’s using its own secret email address.

    If you’re in doubt please create a new secret email address by following these instructions:

    Post by Email

    Thanks a million!
    Yes! Now it works.
    My mistake – I thought it was one mailaddress per site and that wordpress recognized the sender mailaddress.
    Now he sent the blog post to another address and it works fine.
    Thank you all for excellent assistance!
