Post Author not showing up…

So, I just copeied and pasted that code in.
The authors showed up as well as the categories that they were posted in but everything was all over the place, things were overlapping, footer was at the top, all of the widjets were missing, etc…

yea i took out all your div and span tags because i just wanted to see that everything was at least functioning. so michael was right it is something to do with your css ; your span and div tags surrounding the links in your original code.

i would go in and double check everything

So its something in sytle.css?

Is there anything in particular that I should be looking for

ok i think i got it.
looking at the original code you had here:

<div class="PostTime"><span class="PostDay"><?php the_time('j') ?></span> <span class="PostEra"><?php the_time('M Y') ?></span></div>
	<h2><a title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
	<small class="PostDet"><?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?> Author: <?php the_author(); ?> | Filed under: <?php the_category(', ') ?>
	</small>

	</div>

your css class used to show the edit, author, filed under, etc is class=”postdet”

so looking in that CSS you just gave me locate this section of your css

.PostHead small.PostDet{
clear:both;
display:block;
left:10px;
position:absolute;
top:-26px;
height: 23px;
width:395px;
overflow: hidden;
display: none;
}

you see where it says display:none; take that line out. try that i think it should fix your problem sorry took me a while to get back to you was sick. let me know if this works

Wow! Thank you! It’s showing up now!

Ideally it would be under the post title and beside the date but I think that may be asking for too much at this point haha.

Thanks again!

I cruedly messed around with the code and its where it needs to be now.
Thank you once again!

you are most welcome dont forget to mark this as “resolved” so it can help someone in the future. have a good one.
