    Is there any way to display which author wrote the post on the blog? I’m using the Pool 1.0.7 theme if that might be interfering with the normal processes of WordPres. Thanks, guys!

  • Not familiar with that theme; however, many themes have the “normal” call to the post author commented out for some unknown reason. First thing to do is look in your theme’s index.php file for this series of words:

    <?php the_author() ?>

    If they’re surrounded like this:

    <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> -->

    that’s known as “being commented out” (which means they don’t generate the author’s name). In order to fix that (if that’s the problem) you should delete this: <!-- and this: -->.

    If that’s not the problem, do you have by <?php the_author() ?> in index.php at all?

    Interesting you ask if there’s a <?php the_author() ?> in there. As a matter of fact, there’s not. anything I can do to fix this?

    Yup. Open index.php in the default theme, look for where that call appears in that theme, then place it in the theme you’re using. Upload the changed file, check to see if you like where it shows, if not move it….

    wow, thanks, that one worked just fine! it looks good! Now if I have another problem, do I make a new thread for it (this is a current problem that needs fixing soon)

    Yah. If it’s not THIS problem, then start a new thread. Someone will help – not me until tomorrow though! Have fun….
