 * I previously had the author field in the Posts page. But now its gone. I have
   tried many tricks to get it to screen options. Like disabling many plugins. But
   nothing seemed to get it back. Also tried to add few screen options plugins which
   were of no use.
 * Any idea how to get it to display in screen options?

 * Hello Shrinidhi,
 * This question is best asked in the theme support forum here : [https://wordpress.org/support/theme/mesocolumn](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/mesocolumn)
