    I need the Manage posts page in the admin pane to show the usernames for the author of the posts.

    The posts page shows a list of all the posts made however under author it displays their nickname I need it to display their username. Is this possible?

    Thanks,
    Ben

    I believe the file you're looking for is wp-admin/edit-post-rows.php. Open it up for editing and look for the bit that calls the the_author() function. Change it to the_author_login()

    Hi,

    I don't see a file called edit-post-rows.php in the wp-admin directory.

    Could it be a different file name.

    What version are you running? The file was added with the 10/12/07 changeset which would make it the 1.3 release. If you're running an older version, upgrading would be a plus as there have been security issues with previous versions.

    Not sure what file it was contained within before that. Looking through the trac shows a couple of places where it could have been. Best bet would be to start with the file mentioned in the URL bar when you bring up that page and see if that function is used within it.
