 * Hello,
 * Jetpack is a great plugin and we use it for its cool JSON API on a self-hosted
   WordPress setup.
 * I am facing a problem while retrieving comments for a particular post page, the
   returned author object is always same (admin in my case) but it should be really
   comment author as shown in documentation.
 * This is the API url that I am trying – [https://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1.1/sites/www.ask-oracle.com/posts/978/replies/?pretty=1](https://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1.1/sites/www.ask-oracle.com/posts/978/replies/?pretty=1)
   
   As you can see above, author object is always same and not really the comment
   author. It can verified from this webpage – [http://www.ask-oracle.com/sign-compatibility/aries-man-taurus-woman/](http://www.ask-oracle.com/sign-compatibility/aries-man-taurus-woman/)
 * However it is working as expected when I query any particular comment – [https://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1.1/sites/www.ask-oracle.com/comments/1296560/?pretty=1](https://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1.1/sites/www.ask-oracle.com/comments/1296560/?pretty=1)
 * I am not sure what I am doing wrong (or what might cause problem on my setup).
   It is working good on the url provided within documentation – [https://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1/sites/en.blog.wordpress.com/posts/7/replies/?pretty=1](https://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1/sites/en.blog.wordpress.com/posts/7/replies/?pretty=1)

 * I tried to var_dump author on the get_author function in class WPCOM_JSON_API_Endpoint
   but then API started giving verification errors, so I am unable to pin point 
   what might cause such behaviour.
