 * 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](https://wordpress.org/support/users/skylarharris/),
 * As you can see here: [http://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/2361677/fec49ec5ac225143fce17ece5ded66bd](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](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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 !
