Not pulling correct Author in meta data

    The Author meta data is showing “Posted by Administrator” instead of grabbing the nickname or “display name publicly as” field.

    In cases where there’s a specific name associated with a post, it’s displaying that name in lower-case, even though the user’s name, nickname, and public display are all set with initial cap (e.g., shows “david” instead of “David”).

    I fixed this by tweaking class-daves-wordpress-live-search-results.php, line 56, to:

    $authorName = get_the_author_meta( ‘display_name’, $post->post_author );

    I switched nice_name for display_name.
