    I need to change the author post from ProductiveMatters to Kimberly Medlock but I do not have an option to do so. Is there a way that I can add this option?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    ou cannot “add” anything to the theme template. It’s coded to diaplay as it is doing right now. What you can do is change your display name.

    You can change both your WordPress.com account username (the name you use to login) and your display name (the name that is seen on your posts and comments).

    Once you change your username you will not be able to change it back to what it was. If you just want to show your name differently please only change your Display Name.

    Please see here. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/
