   Hello, my blog http://defaultprime.com, I cannot put myself as the author of posts. I am the admin, and if I have 2 or more authors set on the blog, those are the only 2 that are available to put as the author. I am using WordPress 2.7, can anybody help me?

   This is one avenue that usually fixes that problem:

   1.Create new admin user (e.g. newadmin) with Administrator Role
   2.Login as 'newadmin'
   3.Degrade the old 'admin' user to Role of Subscriber and Save
   4.Promote the old 'admin' back to Administrator Role and Save
   5.Login as the old 'admin'

   If that doesn't work try:
   1.Create a new admin user (e.g. newadmin) with Administrator Role
   2.Login as 'newadmin'
   3.Delete the old 'admin' user and assign any posts to 'newadmin'
   4. Create 'admin' user with Administrator Role
   5. Login as 'admin'
   6. Delete 'newadmin' user and assign posts to 'admin'

   I swear I thought that was fixed in 2.7 ;)
