 * I have an editor uploading photos for her photogs and she can’t assign their 
   names as the authors to the galleries. Does she really have to log out and log
   back in with the other person’s account? That seems convoluted considering you
   can assign an author to stories and other aspects of WordPress. Doesn’t anyone
   know how to fix this? Thank you.

 * [@darktroy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/darktroy/) – The author is automatically
   set as the logged in user. There is currently no option for this especially as
   related to your reference of posts or pages.
