 * Here’s a sample page: [http://oamain.wpengine.com/2014/10/19/sample-blog-post/](http://oamain.wpengine.com/2014/10/19/sample-blog-post/)
 * It is showing both the post author profile and the custom author profile. If 
   I check off to not display the post author profile, neither one appears.

 * I found my mistake. I called my custom field custom-author instead of post-author.
   It’s working now!
