    Hi, whenever someone posts as “guest” the author of that respective post appears as the admin acc (aliansikoin). It was working fine until last week. Not sure if this is the reason but I guess it started after I updated the plugin.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hello @ehwang90,

    I have reproduced the issue from my end and the actual post author name is there and am unable to reproduce the issue.

    Can you please check if you have this part enabled. If this is enabled and you are still facing the issue, please share with me the version of your WPUF plugin.

    Regards,

    The thing is that I don’t want guest users to automatically register an account. I wanted to leave it open for anyone to post anything without any ties to the website. It was working fine before…

    I don’t have that box checked and the version is 3.1.10

    PS: Sorry, I had the guest option turned off when you accessed the website

    Hello @ehwang90,

    Author name of the post can only be seen if the author of the post is a registered user. Otherwise, the author of the post will be admin.

    If you remove the checkbox from here. Then all the guest users can post in your site without any email and therefore they will not be registered in your account and the post author will be admin.

    So if there is any post from an author who is not registered in your site, the post author will be automatically set to admin by default. It will be unavailable to set a post author’s original name, when you do not allow WPUF to collect the name of the author.

    Regards,
