Hi, so this is a topic that’s been brought up a few times before (like here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/submitted-author-name-shown-instead-of-assigned-author-name/), and while the author has made it clear what causes the issue I couldn’t find any possible solutions.
I know you’re supposed to somehow edit the get_the_author_meta() function, but I’m not sure what exactly needs to change for the submitted name to be displayed instead of the user name?
It seems that a plugin named Advanced Post Block displays it properly, by using this line:
get_the_author_meta( 'display_name', $post->post_author )
Not sure if that’s somehow related?
Just looking for a way to edit the theme so that these names will display properly in the post list. If there’s a solution I’d really appreciate it!
I’m using the Twenty-Twenty-Four theme.
