# WordPress App publishes wrong byline

 * Every time I use an ios or desktop WP app to post to my site, the post invariably
   appears under a colleague’s name. The only way to fix it is to open the full 
   version in any browser then I can change the byline manually.
 * The problem does not occur when I use a browser either via WP.com or directly
   via my self hosted site. I’ve looked for a setting to correct the error in both
   desktop and iOS apps and can’t find one. Anyone got any ideas?

 * I recommend asking at [https://apps.wordpress.com/support](https://apps.wordpress.com/support)
   so the app’s developers and support community can help you with this.

 * Sorry, I only meant that no one has replied in the App forum.

 * They’re the devs. It’s not a wordpress.org product, nor is it distributed via
   wordpress.org.

 * Okay, that’s useful. I’ll just dump the app then.
