  If two people with WordPress.com accounts co-author a blog post, is there a way to include both of their names in the byline?

  Hi there,

  I’m afraid not. If your theme displays an automatic byline, it pulls that info from the site database, and in the database only one account can be assigned as the author of any particular post.

  If you want to display the names of multiple authors, add the byline manually in the post content instead.

  Depending on your theme there might be a way to hide the default byline in that case. If you can point me to the site you’re working on, I can tell you what the available options are.
