Show username on post?

    I looked around a little, but the documentation is so extensive, I didn’t have much luck.

    My blog is at https://www.knowlesfamily.com/wordpress/ and I’d like to show the username of the person who posts. So as it shows now, the first and the third blogs I’d like to have “posted by julieknowles” and the second one to have “posted by janeknowles”. Is that possible?

    a little?

    What did you read, what did it tell you, and what have you tried?
    Cuz this is REALLY simple.
    (food for though question, ok)

    Assuming you have a copy of the wordpress files on your local computer, crack open the wp-content/themes/default/index.php and take a look at it.

    you will see this:

    <small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --></small>

    Here’s hoping you can tell that this:

    <?php the_author() ?>

    is responsible for the post author’s name.

    So you put this in your loop

    Posted by <?php the_author() ?> wherever you want that.

    Wow okay…I really didn’t mean to ruffle anyone’s feathers. I looked literally “just a little” because I didn’t have time to read or sit down and figure it out right then.

    Could I have figured it out? Sure. But again, I was short on time and decided to ask for help on the forums.

    I’ll be sure and take the time to figure it out for myself in the future instead of asking for help.

    Here’s hoping you can tell that this:

    <?php the_author() ?>

    is responsible for the post author’s name.

    No matter how rude you are, I thank you for your help.

    Ha ha ha….just because I was curious about you…

    being the female Simon Cowell of WordPress. Remember that when I tell you like it is.

    Okay that made me laugh.

    Here’s hoping …

    I was actually being sincere there, you would be surprised how often the obvious isnt, especially around here.

    I’ll be sure and take the time to figure it out for myself in the future instead of asking for help.

    Please do and thanks ??

    ..because I didn’t have time to read or sit down and figure it out right then.

    Assuming that we have more time than you is like, well you know ..a bad assumption.
