Autoblog Author

Hi,

I’m using the Autoblog plugin, and it’s working well so far, except for one thing: it’s not importing the original posts’ author names, but instead, it’s displaying the network admin’s author name for all imported posts. I have the plugin set up so that it pulls the post’s author (I have it configured as such: ‘ Set author for new posts: use feed author ‘:wink:.

Am I missing something?

Thank you.

    Hi Eddy, hope you had a wonderful day.

    Set author for new posts enables you to select an existing user on your site, or attempt to use the original author from the source site. If you have selected original feed author above, and If author in feed does not exist locally, then it will use an existing author on your site. Please check the attached screenshot for reference.

    So I'm afraid, you will have to create authors with same name from your feed in your site. Otherwise, it will set your existing admin user or the user you define as a fallback.

    Please let us know if you have any confusion. We will be glad to help.

    Have a nice day. Cheers!
