# [Plugin: Copy Post] ERROR: Author () does not exist on target system!

 * I recently installed Copy Post, and I assume I have everything set up correctly
   but ti’s not recognizing the “Author” account on the website the post is being
   copied too.
 * Both of the websites are mine, I admin them both with mirrored accounts (with
   the exception of the account email address) with the same author name, user name,
   and password.
 * Both WP sites are a separate install on the same webserver in two separate directories
   and they both have the same user and pass for the SQL databases though the SQL
   DB’s are named differently but that shouldn’t matter as the plugin is configured
   to use the SQL admin account.
 * Remote Blog URL: [http://cubicle101.com/cubicle101/](http://cubicle101.com/cubicle101/)(
   this is the WP install path for the site I’m trying to copy post to)
    Remote 
   Database Host: localhost Remote Database User: “my SQL username, omitted for 
   obvious reasons) Remote Database Name: “Actual SQL DB name”
 * Any help is appreciated.

 * Hi 0v3rki11,
 * I’m experiencing the exact same problem as you. I was wondering if you ever managed
   to fix the problem?
