 * Hello,
 * I have 4 Editors and one Administrator assigned to an individual WP multisite
   blog.
 * When I go to make a new post and/or edit an existing post, I don’t see the “Author”
   dropdown.
 * What do you think could be the problem?
 * Thanks!
    Micky

 * “Screen Options” top right of the post edit page. Tick “Author”.

 * Doi! I [found a solution](https://groups.google.com/d/topic/wordpress-austin/2qA9HIqRZVU/discussion).
 * Screen options! That’s one area I hadn’t explored yet.
 * Cheers,
