I saw a question about how to change the author of a blog post, and since it's something I actually know how to do, I thought I'd do a post about it for anyone who has the same question. Here's how you do it.
- Log into your website so you can see the dashboard.
- On the menu at the left, click "All Posts."
- A list of all your posts will come up, both published posts and drafts.
- Find the title of the post you want to change.
- Hover your cursor over the title until the Edit/Quick Edit/Trash/View options bwcome visible.
- Click "Quick Edit." This will give you the ability to make a variety of changes (such as title, date, author, categories, etc.) or to password protect the page, make it private, or make it "sticky."
- Click the pull-down arrow where it says "author," and you'll get a list of people cleared to write posts on your site.
- Choose the one you want.
- Click "update" to save your change.
And you're done!
