   Hi everyone!

   Is there any way to show the author on posts in "minimalism" theme?

   thanks in advance!

   The WordPress Default theme has an example of the_author in the wp-content/themes/default/index.php but the code is 'commented-out' so it doesn't execute. So if you wanted to display the author info with the WordPress Default theme you would change the line in wp-content/theme/default/index.php
   from:
   <small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --></small>
   to
   <small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> by <?php the_author() ?> </small>

   So you probably just need to add template tag, the_author(), to your theme's index.php file.

   Also there's a cool little new plugin that displays the avatar for the author:
