#5158 closed defect (bug) (duplicate)

Admin name not showing when making a post

Description

Not sure , if this has been reported, but when I'm posting a new post, because I have a number of contributors to the site, the only names in the Author list as those who are contributors, and the Administrator isn't present in the list.

I have attached a screenshot of the problem I'm finding, in the screenshot I'm logged in as the administrator, and attempting to edit a post prior to publishing the post as myself as the Author.

itsonlybarney, thank you for participating in WordPress development!

In the future please provide reproduction steps and give your attachments a file name that suggests the issue it demostrates.

Is this an existing WordPress installation, or a new one? What version of WordPress did you set it up? Were you able to duplicate it in a testing environment? Clean install?

This sounds like a previously fixed issue, #2818. Marking as duplicate pending additional feedback.

I have created this using WP 2.3 with minimal plugins. I have also tried this on a same server with a different configuration path.

It is the same problem as 2818, but it still appears even in 2.3. Is there a work around/patch for it, or will it continue to plague WP?

Not really "plaguing" IMO.

@itsonlybarney - The big question is, at what version was the admin user created? Was the blog installed at 2.3? If so, then I'd say the problem persists. If you upgraded from earlier versions then the problem could have been created at those versions. This problem has yet to be duplicated so devs can fix.
