    Hello,
    visitors can write posts without login. Works Fine for me. In the Form they have to enter their name, which i want to use as the post Author. However when i open the post it shows me my wpadmin name as author and not the name the user has entered. How can i change it that the Name is beeing used as Author?

    Best Regards

    The plugin uses the submitted name as the post author by default. But it only works for themes that use one of the following tags to display the author name:

    • the_author_meta('display_name')
    • get_the_author_meta()
    • get_the_author()
    • the_author()

    If your theme uses any of these tags, the submitted name will be displayed as the post author. If your theme is not using any of these tags, then the “Assigned Author” will be displayed.

    Also, just FYI make sure the USP setting “Disable Replace Author” is not enabled. Otherwise it won’t work.

    I hope that helps, let me know if I can provide any further infos.
