 * On all ABISKO posts, how do I get the “By” line (bottom of post) to show my username?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpost-byline-empty%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi John,
 * The theme includes the Post Author block there by default, which should output
   the author name with a link to the author archive, using the name formatting 
   selected in Users → Profile in the administration panel.
 * Do you have any plugins active related to user profiles or author archive pages?
 * If you go to Appearance → Editor → Templates → Single Posts, do you see the post
   author block there?

 * Thanks for getting back to me so quickly after your epic summer hike!
 * Only plugins are: LightSpeed Cache, Really Simple SSL (both req’d by host) and
   Optimize Database after Deleting Revisions.
 * I see Appearance-Editor BETA. Host installed WordPress 6.1.3
 * Could that be the problem? If so what is the required version? 6.2.2?
 * Thank you Anders.

 * [@john-cameron](https://wordpress.org/support/users/john-cameron/) No problem!
   I believe the Post Author block wasn’t added until 6.2, so you’ll need to update
   your WordPress installation to display it.

 * Thanks Anders, I have asked my hosting company (wpcloud.ca) to update WordPress.

 * I submitted a support ticket to wpcloud.ca asked them to update WordPress to 
   6.2 and received a reply from them 11 minutes later letting me know 6.2.2 was
   now installed!
 * Post Author Block is now working as expected on all posts.
 * Thanks for taking the time Anders!
