Hi !

You can copy the following code and paste in the file content-single.php / line 13

see the screenshot : http://imgur.com/6WfhPui

 

<a href="<?php echo esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ); ?>" rel="author"><span>by <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> </span>

</a>

Next : log in to dashboard > theme > Customize > add the following code :

see the screenshot: http://imgur.com/ScuB1nJ

 

<style>

.single .entry-title {

margin-bottom: 0px;

}

.single .site-content > .post .entry-meta {

padding-top: 15px;

}

.entry-header a span {

font-size : 17px;

color: #999;

}

</style>

Hope this helps!

Regards,

Dominic

You solution worked.

I have one more detail … what about a situation in which we have more than one Author for a particular article.

The current Bulk Edit does not allow me to add more than one Author, so how can one go about listing more than one Author per article.

On WordPress, I think they only allow 1 author per post.
