Hello folks,
I probably just missed it somewhere in the configuration but I am not seeing names associated with the posts as viewed by the public (without logging in)... actually , evern after logging in I still do not see subscribers names posted with their posts or comments..
Have I missed a button somewhere ?
Woudl appreciate your comments or help
Many Thanks !
Steve
Post and Comments do not carry the Authors Name (5 posts)

Most likely it's your theme? It's not displaying names..
For comment author (insert into comments.php):
<?php comment_author_link() ?>Post author: <?php the_author() ?>

I changed to one of the WP default themes (WordPress Classic) and I do see the authors, however, the "WP Default" theme does not show the authors. Do you have other themes that use 2.3 ver that you recommend?
I'd like to have a better looking theme but am hesitant to just throw one in for fear of screwing up something...I sure do not want to lose all the hard work people have put into placing blogs concerning local issues. Many Thanks for your expertise !Steve

Let's just say I don't quite use themes the way they're supposed to be used...
But you can use any theme! It's just like HTML. Open up comments.php of the theme you want to use and just look around. Insert <?php comment_author_link() ?> somewhere and see where the comment author name turns up. Eventually you'll get it to appear the way you want it. (:
It's the same for <?php the_author() ?> I'm not very sure which file to edit for this, but I reckon it should be index.php
Just make some backups before you mess with the theme files, since if all else fails, you can always restore them. ^_^
