 * HI –
 * I am trying to create a custom dimension to track authors. I followed the instructions
   and created a custom dimension in GA with the Index of 1, name “Author” – it 
   is active, and scope is set to “hit”.
    I went into SEO press and under “Track
   Authors” I selected Custom Dimension 1. When I go to GA and select “Author” under
   the secondary dimension I continue to get no data. What am I doing wrong?
 * Thanks!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcustom-dimension%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * make sure your author has a display name set from his profile page.

 * [@rainbowgeek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rainbowgeek/) – Thanks – I
   have 175 authors and all of them have a display name set. Is there anything else
   that could be causing this?
