I have a multi author blog on my website. How could I display the author at the end of the post title? I have tried a few things using the <?php the_author(); ?> , but it doesn’t seem to have worked. Any ideas?

try editing line 198 like this:
$excerpt = ': ' . $excerpt . ' ' . get_the_author();

what if I wanted to get the publication date (and time) of each post? Would it be something similar?

Yup, you can try something like this, just edit it as needed:
```
$time = date('m/d/y',strtotime($post->post_date));
$excerpt = ' (' . $time . '): ' . $excerpt;
```

Hello,

I’ve tried that to add the author name :
$excerpt = ': ' . $excerpt . ' ' . get_the_author();
At the line 198, but it doesn’t run : it’s displaying the same wrong author name for all recent posts.

I think the problem comes from the loop, but I don’t know why and how to solve it… any ideas ?

Thanks !

instead of get_the_author() try

get_the_author_meta('first_name', $post->author)

for something other than first name, see this codex article: http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Function_Reference/the_author_meta
