 * I created a second user and gave that user admin rights. How do I write a new
   post from that admin? I was expecting to see some sort of drop down to select
   the other admin then write a post but it doesn’t exist either at at the write
   post area or the top right of dashboard where I see my user names. Any suggestions?

 * When you’re writing the post, there should be a setting that allows you to set
   the “author”. If you’re not seeing that option, check the “screen options” at
   the top right and make sure the “author” has a checkbox.
 * Hope that helps. 🙂

 * AUthor is checked but when I select new post my options are the visual/text box
   entering area, save draft, publish immediately,visibility setting,categories,
   tags,and featured image. Where exactly would this setting be located?
