# Gallery Author missing

 * In the list of galleries I see the filter “all” and “mine” with different post
   counts, but there’s no Author column like other post types have, even as admin
   I cannot see a gallery’s author, nor can I change it like other post types. “
   Screen Options” also doesn’t list Author as an available column, and it’s not
   a field in Quick Edit either.
   is this an intentional limitation or an option 
   I’ve overlooked or misunderstood?

 * hi there,
 * You have not overlooked it, there is simply no author column on the foogallery
   CPT list.
 * You can add one by adding this custom code to your functions.php:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       add_filter( 'manage_edit-foogallery_columns', function( $columns ) {	$columns['author'] = 'Author';	return $columns;}, 99 );
       ```

 * that did work, but in trying to get Quick Edit working too I found a better way
 *     ```wp-block-code
       add_post_type_support( 'foogallery', 'author' );
       ```
   
 * this seems to place it everywhere I’d expect it to be, even without the code 
   you suggested
