# Wrong author

 * I am admin of a new wp website.
    I created 3 new members. Now I tried to write
   a new post, but when I save it, it shows another Author as the article’s author.
   In “article’s author” I can choose every member as the post’s author, but not
   me. What can I do? Thank you Emanuele

 * this has happened to me what is going on ????
 * i can’t post as myself and it defaults to saying the first user in the post author
   list is the author
 * i do not touch that post author box
 * and even when i do the admin account (me ) is not listed even as an option to
   set as the post author!
 * so to fix this i had to delete this users account so the pages/posts revert to
   admin
 * help???
