 * Hi
 * I love the Gamepress Pro theme, but I was wondering if there was a way to automatically
   display the author’s name at the top of posts where it displays the date, and
   the post’s categories, and the number of comments.

 * Hi jessekramer27
 * If you go into content-single.php
 *     ```
       <div class="entry-meta">
                               <?php the_author(); ?> |
       			<?php the_time( get_option( 'date_format' ) ) ?> |
       			<?php echo __( 'Posted in ', 'gamepress' ).' '. get_the_category_list( __( ', ', 'gamepress' ) ); ?> |
       			<?php comments_popup_link(__('No comments','gamepress'), __('1 comment','gamepress'), __('Comments: %','gamepress')); ?>
       		</div>
       ```
   
 * This will add the post author in the header for you.

 * You probably should recommend setting up a Child Theme before recommending to
   edit files like that.

 * You may want to do the same in
    video-single.php and reviews-single.php for continuity.
