Adding author(s) to posts

A post can have one or more authors, which determine its public byline. This article explains how to assign them in the editor or Quick Edit.

Assign authors while editing a post

1. Open the post.
2. If the settings sidebar is hidden, click Settings in the top bar. Select the Post tab.
3. Open Authors, below the Summary area.
4. In Select An Author, type a username, display name, or email address. Select the user.
5. If needed, use Move Up or Move down to change byline order, or Remove Author to remove a co-author. A post must retain at least one author.
6. Click Save or Save draft.

Post authors appear in the published byline. Page authors do not appear on the published page.

Assign authors from All Posts

1. Navigate to Posts > All Posts.
2. Hover over a post and click Quick Edit.
3. In Authors, type a username, display name, or email address. Select the user.
4. Click Update.
