Question about Post Author

    I’m trying to use the AB post and page grid block with posts created by USP Pro. They say that whenever the site calls:

    the_author()
    get_the_author()
    the_author_meta(‘display_name’)
    get_the_author_meta(‘display_name’)

    Then the author that was submitted via the form will be shown instead of whatever author the system defaults to as the post author (an admin). When my first sample posted, it is showing admin name instead of the user’s name who created the post.

    I’m just checking with you folks — does AB post and page grid call any of those functions?

    @deleyna the Post and Page Grid block uses the following functions:

    get_the_author_meta( 'display_name', get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) )

    get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) )
