I am new to the new Wix blog app. I am manually adding about 10 blog posts from another blog and have run into a problem.
How do I edit the author of a post?
When I go to Dashboard > Blog (New) > Posts I have a single author at the top. If I change the name there (e.g. John Doe) it changes it in ALL my posts. As the site administrator I want to be able to manually add a different author name to each post.
How is this done?
Hi,
welcome to the Wix Blog!
You would need to create a separate profiles for your writers names (sign-up on the site), then to provide these profiles writers permissions. The to make a post under writer name, you could: - log-in to live site with writer credentials and post the post from there.
- create a post under your name and change the authorship. Please read here more: https://www.wix-blog-community.com/blog/updates/changing-the-author-of-a-post
Please read here more about adding writers: https://support.wix.com/en/article/adding-writers-in-the-new-wix-blog
Even though I have 2 admins on the site, the drop-down stays greyed out and I can't change the author other than changing them all like Shannon showed. What am I not getting?
Hi Claudia,
you can change the author of the blog post in the post settings. To add writers to the blog (so that they would appear in the dropdown list), in the Wix Dashboard go to main Menu > Settings > Roles & Permissions (the functionality has changed - not blog authors are added via Dashboard and not live site):
I'm trying to add writers to the new blog yet, when I click on the permission link in my email it says "Site not found/err 401."
