 * Please i am having issues with granting anonymous users, who just wish to post
   after marking this option ” **Use registered username as post author. Valid when
   the person submitting the form is logged in to WordPress**“. If i unmark the 
   above option register user information don’t show up when they make a post but
   rather assigned authors information appears for all post submitted.

 * Yep that’s how it works, if I understand you correctly. Basically if the user
   is logged in when submitting a post, then that setting tells WordPress to use
   their registered username as the Post Author. Otherwise the default assigned 
   author is used as the Post Author.

 * In the case of user’s who are not registered but want to make posts,this is the
   reply they get **“user login required”**. This is when this option is marked **”
   Use registered username as post author. Valid when the person submitting the 
   form is logged in to WordPress”**. Please i would like to if it possible for 
   unregistered user to post with this the above option marked.

 * I’m not sure if I understand, but here is how it works:
 * – if the user is logged in AND that setting is enabled, then their registered
   username will be used as the Post Author
 * – if the user is not logged in, the Default Assigned Author will be used as the
   Post Author, regardless of whether the setting is enabled
