Hey Calin, I truly appreciate how responsive you’ve been. Unfortunately, after updating the PHP file as you instructed, the author name still isn’t updating for me. Neither on the blog page itself or when a preview of the blog is displayed on a category page or anywhere else. Whether I change the author or add multiple authors, the blog just keeps displaying the original blog default author (my name – Erik Larsen) and ignores my choices completely. Here’s a link to a PDF I created with some screenshots – https://www.dropbox.com/s/ykjvvgos3l6u9rx/TagDiv%20Support_Guest%20Author%20error%20screenshots.pdf?dl=0

Screenshot 1 is the updated PHP file.
Screenshot 2 is the guest author that I created and chose for our Quiktrip blog.
Screenshot 3 and 4 show the blog’s original default author still displaying despite the guest author being chosen.

I’ve also tried 2 other plugins: “Guest Author” and (Simply) Guest Author Name. The first didn’t change the author at all, and the second actually fixes the author’s name on the blog page itself, but it doesn’t update the author name when a preview of the blog is shown on the category page, sidebar, or anywhere else.

I don’t know what to do?

Hey Calin, this is great. I think this plugin will work. However, I can’t find the authors_template.php file to add the extra code? I saw the screenshots in the post that you linked to, but I still don’t see that the authors_template.php file in my theme editor. How do I get there?

Here is the link to our testing website: https://webtest.healthscient.com/. Notice the gap between the trending now title and the Big Grid 8 on the homepage? When I update the margin, it shows a change inside the TagDiv composer, but it goes away when I save the changes and view the site.
