 * When posting a linked URL from WordPress, there is an Author shown. How do you
   suppress this or change it. It’s not the correct Author and I cannot use Facebook
   until this is corrected.

 * Look at who the author is on the post. Then look at the user’s profile account.
   Within the profile, check to see if they have the wrong profile URL entered in
   the Profile field there.
