# WordPress Author missing

 * It seems like Pubplishpress Authors removes the option to change the wordpress
   author. Is there any way of still being able to use Publishpress Authors to create
   an author for a post, but be able to change the wordpress author/user? I have
   another use for the wordpress user and would like to be able to carry on using
   it.

 * Hi [@dv1961](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dv1961/)
 * Thanks for using PublishPress Authors.
 * Sorry, I don’t quite follow this question. You can’t change the author?

 * I can change the publishpress author, it’s the wordpress author I can’t change.
   I don’t know what the correct term is – the logged in user is the post auther
   unless that is changed. That’s what I can’t find after activating Publishpress
   authors. I can attach screenshots if that’ not clear.

 * Thanks [@dv1961](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dv1961/)
 * Could you post here with more specific details of your use case? Yes, screenshots
   would be a big help:

 * I’ve just followed the github link. Thanks, I didn’t realise the wordpress user
   option was available when using a guest author – that was my problem.
 * However, I’m sure we’ll find it useful to this option available all the time –
   we have used a different wordpress user as the authors ‘sponsor’ even if the 
   author is another wordpress user.
