 * Hi All,
 * Still trying to find a way to assign an author to a listing; problem being, is
   that where is says ‘Author’ on the right, it shows only the Admin Username?
 * Before, I could scroll the the same dropdown box and select an author; since 
   the update of WP, now I can’t?
 * Many Thanks

 * Hi,
 * Of course I knew that, not the problem 😉
 * It’s being able to select the author to associate with the listing/post
 * Regards,
