Hi there, I would like to know how to change the default author of blog posts. Right now, I have a website with two users (one is me and the other one is the client) but the author block in the blog posts always point at me by default (this has been troublesome since the client didn't realize and had posted under my name, which looks very odd). Is there any way to put him as an author by default, just so this doesn't happen again? Thanks!

Hi there,

there are some PHP Snippets i found in a google search such as the one here:

https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/84782/set-a-user-as-author-of-all-new-posts-posted/84785

But they are all really old and i am not sure that will work today.

The simplest fix is to make sure the client is logging in with his own unique login - this will ensure that they are always the post author.
