Step by step
1. Accessing Posts Settings
To begin managing authors:
Sign into your Single account
Navigate to Posts > Settings from the left sidebar
2. Understanding Author Permissions
Before adding authors, note:
Post authors are not granted access to this account
Author status is for attribution purposes only
If you want to give someone the ability to create or edit posts, add them as a new user to your Single account with appropriate permissions.
3. Adding a New Author
To add a new author:
Click "Add Author"
Fill in the details:
Upload an avatar image
Enter the author's name
Decide whether to set this author as the default
Click "Save" to confirm
Note: When you set an author during post creation, their name and image will replace the default author set here, helping to personalize your content!
4. Editing Existing Authors
To modify an existing author's information:
Find the author in the list
Click "Edit" or the author's name
Update the necessary fields (avatar, name)
Save your changes
5. Removing an Author
If you need to remove an author:
Locate the author in the list
Click "Remove" or a similar option
Confirm the deletion when prompted
Note: Removing an author doesn't delete posts attributed to them. The author's name will still appear on existing posts.
6. Using Authors in Posts
When creating or editing a post:
Look for the "Author" field
Select from your list of added authors
The chosen author's name and avatar will appear in the post feed
