Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Published By

The user most recently responsible for a post getting published will be recorded as the publishing user. Editing a published post does not change the publishing user.

In the upper-right of the page is a "Screen Options" link that reveals a panel of options. In the "Columns" section, check (to show) or uncheck (to hide) the "Published By" option.

It's an indication that for the given post the name shown is a guess by the plugin based on existing post data. For posts that were published prior to the use of this plugin (and thus the plugin could not directly record who published those posts), the plugin makes a best guess attempt to ascertain who published the post. After failing to find the publisher of the post as recorded by the plugin, it checks for who last edited the post, then who is responsible for the latest revision of the post, and finally failing those, it assumes it was the post author. It's likely that the guess is correct, but it's impossible to say for certain when the plugin isn't activated when posts were published.
