    Everything about this plugin is working great, except that the author name isn’t displaying on the items in the feed.

    I selected ‘yes’ in the dropdown for ‘Should we display the date of publication and the author name?’ Is there somewhere else I need to specify this?

    And while I’m at it – can you be a bit more specific about where to insert the code snippet to display feed time and date in the local time, and if I’m inserting it or replacing other code?

    Hey @skylarharris,

    As you can see here: http://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/2361677/fec49ec5ac225143fce17ece5ded66bd

    Some of the feed items show the author name and some are not. The reason why this is not consistent is because the feed does not include the author for that specific item at all. So basically the feed does not include the author and the plugin does not know from where to get it.

    Let me know if you need anything else.

    Cool. As I added more feeds and saw that some included it and some didn’t, I was wondering if that was the case. Thanks for confirming it for me.

    Since that’s resolved, the only two things I need to figure out to get this feed just right are:

    1) the local time issue – I saw the code snippet that’s been created to display feed time and date in the local time, but I’m new to this and I’m not sure where the code snippet gets inserted.

    2) is there any shortcode or code snipped that pulls in the source of the rss feed (so, not the author, but the name of the page/site that the item was fed from).

    Hey @skylarharris,

    1) Yes, you can use the snippet and add it in your functions.php file, inside your theme/child theme folder.

    2) Yes, you can enable the feed_title attribute in the shortcode and this will show up the title of the feed.

    I hope this answers to your questions.Let me know if you need anything else.

    Thanks !
