    Hi at all,

    I've two different WordPress installation. This two WP shares the tables for users registration and login (wp_users, wp_usermeta, etc).

    I've upgraded each WP to 2.8.4. In the secondary installation I've a problem: author dropdown is missing when I go to edit a post (quick edit mode or normal edit mode). It's means that I can't change the author of each post!

    I've searched but seems that the aren't solutions at the moment. If it depends by the upgrade, it's completely a NEW problem.

    Who can help me? How I can do?

    I've discovered in which case author dropdown miss! As said, I've two WordPress installation and I've shared users registration and login with this method: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/199522?replies=5 or http://www.davidbilbo.com/2009/05/using-a-single-user-database-for-multiple-blogs/.

    With this procedure, author dropdown is missing in the secondary WP installation when I insert these lines in wp-config.php:

    define('CUSTOM_CAPABILITIES_PREFIX', 'wp1_');
    define('CUSTOM_USER_TABLE', 'wp1_users');
    define('CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE', 'wp1_usermeta');

    If I delete these 3 lines from wp-config.php of secondary installation, author dropdown reappear (but obviously).

    Any ideas?
