  • <?php the_author(); ?> is the template tag that displays the info contained in the field at Dashboard>Users>Your Profile. Look under Name for Display name publicly as

    You can either change the Nickname just above that field then select it from the drop down menu at Display name publicly as or, after changing the Nickname you can use <?php the_author_nickname(); ?> instead of <?php the_author(); ?> in your theme files.

    IMHO , aafter changing the nickname, you do not really to change the template tag … It will show the nick also with <?php the_author(); ?>
