  • I just had a problem like this as well.

    A friend just subscribed, then I changed his role to Author. Now when I log in as admin and post, it attributes the post to him.

    any ideas on this?

    Try clearing your browser’s cache.

    did that multiple times. also logged out, shut down, restarted, logged back in and same thing??!?!

    Update: the Post Author box in the Create New Post option of the admin panel was selecting a user other than me when i posted.

    the problem seems to have happened when i typed in a nickname for myself in my profile (instead of “admin” showing when i post). for some reason the Post Author box didn’t register my nickname.

    When i erased my nickname so that I am only known as admin, the Post Author box had “admin” as a possible selection.

    so the original problem is fixed.

    now the question is what is the nickname snafu?
