[Video] How to change the author on a WordPress post

Recent versions of WordPress have hidden the "post author" menu in a place no one seems to be able to find it. Here's how to change the author name on a post.

And because blog posts that consist purely of video are really annoying ;-) here's how to do it.

  • From Admin > Posts, select "edit" for the post you want to change.
  • Scroll almost to the bottom of the page, looking for "Post Authors".
  • There's a drop-down menu listing everyone who's authorised to write posts on your blog; select the author name you want,
  • scroll back up to the top and click "update post".
