- Oops, Wrong Author
We all have our BLOND moments, and sometimes you rush through and find out, that somehow you missed a step. Or maybe you simply assumed something would automatically (go/format) a certain way. Yet when you check, you find oh oh, it didn’t go as you thought. FEEDS can do that to ya.
EACH NEW FEED NEEDS TO BE CONFIGURED, OR IT WILL USE THE SYSTEM/FEED DEFAULTS.
HOWEVER, all is not lost, because with the plug in, you can re-assign feeds to a different author, without having to go through each post, and change it. You can simply go to the ‘author’ page and do some surgery.
It really isn’t complicated or time consuming either. All you need to do is highlight the original feed author, then highlight the new author you want all the feed posts assigned to, and then click fix it.
And without you having to wade through the posts, well, it is all done for you.
NOW the problem is, if you assigned the feed to an author, that has other feeds. Then well, yes you do have to wade through and fix it, which is one more reason I recommend using a separate category for feeds, and authors. IT IS EASIER TO WADE THROUGH ONE CATEGORY INSTEAD OF ALL YOUR BLOG CATEGORIES, TO FIND THE ERRANT POSTS.
