We are happy to announce that as an admin of your blog you can now change the ownership of a published post or draft and assign it to anyone who has writing privileges, i.e. Admins (site owner and site contributors) or Writers on your blog.

Here's how to do it:
Head o the Post Settings panel (on a published post or on a draft)
Select who you want to re-assign the post to from the Author drop-down menu
Click on Done
Publish the post
Enjoy! :)
Maya!, You'r on a roll girl!
This is actually an amazing feature and the reason is because I have so many postings and as I'm getting new sponsored dealerships on board it would be easy to assign specific inventory that belongs to them to their profile.
Great job, Next Update!
I think update SEO for google Tag
What about multiple authors for a single post? Please refer to this group post on my old blog: https://www.olympiancars.com/single-post/2018/08/05/MARKET-INSIDERS-PICK-THEIR-TOP-3-MONTEREY-AUCTION-FAVORITES
Hi Eric, we've added your request to our wishlist :)
@Maya Ekron thank you.
Hello!
I'm having trouble changing the name of the authors on my posts. Our posts were published on the Old Wix Blog and when we migrated to the New One, the author's name were incomplete. When I tried to change it, the drop-down bar just gave me some of the author's name. How can I add the name of the authors in this drop-down bar? Or is there another solution for this?
Hello!
In order to get the rest of your authors on the list you'll need to install the member's area.

You'll find the rest of your authors there but you'll see they aren't assigned as "Writer"s. You'll need to log in to your website as the admin and assign them that position after which they will appear on the author list.
Hope this helps!
Thanks
@Rafal Zacharevič thank you for your help. Just one more thing.
I can't put more than one author on a post, can I? Because I've tried, but there is a restriction on the number of characters. So if my text has more than one author, I can put just the first one?
I will have a go but still getting use to things
The NEW BLOG (Add Author feature) is horrible and very disappointing. So, what we have to do (now) is CREATE PROFILES for each author ---just to get their NAME on the BLOG to give them credit? Yikes.... Please fix. We dont want the authors to have any access...we post their blogs for them (because they need to be edited) and then...we give them credit. BRING BACK THE MANUAL AUTHOR NAME FEATURE -- PLEASE! THANKS SO MUCH
I would really like to be able to change the author WITHOUT having to give that person access to the site. We welcome contributors but we also like to edit posts before they go up to protect our organization. It would be great if we could get the old way back.
Hi @Sharmon Lebby,
Thank you for your comment. The feature is already available to users!
How can I access it because it was not available for the last blog post we put up a couple weeks ago?
@Sharmon Lebby
Please find it in the post settings:
