Hello again; I have switched themes and am using arras 1.4.2.
Again the author name will not show; either in post or when you go to the "edit post" dashboard. I have created a new author not as an administrator to see if that was the problem but still no author name showing up.
The only way now seems to add a custom field to every post to display the author name and an author post link; but this seems very long winded.
many thanks again

hi thanks for replying;
I had tried <p>This post was written by <?php the_author(); ?></p>
but shows nothing but the text. The author name doesn't show in the dashboard either when you edit posts.

sorry; here is the article link:

author details at bottom
Try moving that line further up the single.php template file. Placing it just before <>php the_content();?> would be a good test to see if the tag is working correctly or whether something is interfering with it.

still nothing; the text shows above the post but again no author
Have you tried:
- deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
- switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems?

OMG...thank you so much; it was the "TweetMeme Follow Button" plugin; I would never have thought of that ever! All other plugins are activated except that one and now the name shows;
I am forever in your debt; thank you :)
