# Display Post Author

 * I was hoping to display the post author with each article on the slider. I’ve
   been fooling around with display.php in the theme folder, but I can’t seem to
   be able to produce a link to the author’s page. Any assistance would be appreciated.
 * The slider in question is located at [http://in-training.org/](http://in-training.org/).

 * In display.php file, you can use this to display the author:
 *     ```
       global $authordata;
       $authordata = get_userdata($post->post_author);
       the_author_posts_link();
       ```
   
 * Make sure you use this inside the foreach.

 * I have implemented adding an option to choose whether to show author on slides
