    I did the mistake to blog with an admin account of MU, is it possible to change the post author to the other author account (where I usually blog?)?

    Should be one of the tabs along the right hand side of the Write Posts page.

    What is the tab called? I can't really find it!

    Maybe I'm blind.

    Post Author. It's on the RIGHT with big blue bars in the Write Post or Edit post area.

    Weird. I swore it was there when I did it another time. And I know it's on the admin blog where I have another user.

    Well, I'm sure it is working for you, but not for my blog that has id 7 (not an admin blog).

    Check under "Users" in your blog and see how many users hare Authors on that blog. If there is only one user the tab does not show up on the Write page.

    hempsworth: Yes, you are right, I had to add a user so the tab showed up.

    Thank you. That is the solution.

    I have this same problem even though I do have two users. The post author tab does not show, I'm running v2.1.3
