Can You Change the Author of a Post in WordPress?

In WordPress, posts are authored by the person who created them. This is true whether you are editing a post that you created, or editing a post that someone else created.

However, there is a way to change the author of a post.

To change the author of a post, open the post in the editor, and look for the “Author” field. In the WordPress default theme, this field is located at the bottom of the post.

To change the author of a post in a custom theme, the author field is located at the top of the post.

To change the author of a post, enter the new author’s name in the “Author” field. WordPress will automatically update the post content to reflect the change.
