Hi Marco,

I am making a magazine with many authors, who are not part of my team but are just writing single articles. Is it necessary to make a user for every single author? I want the author’s name to show up on the author page, and also on their posts, but it seems like a lot of work to create hundreds of users.

Also, is there a way to change the author on a post I already made? For example, there is an article that was written by Anna Befort, but because I made the post it shows as by Emily Levang. Can I change it to her after the post has been made?

Thank you,

Emily

Hi Emily, yes it’s a standard wordpress function… you can create a user like “Guest Posts” and use this user to publish all your authors posts…
In the end of article you can write the real author…

Marco
