All imported questions assigned to admin?
  • MikeMike August 2011

    Currently, the "post now" option will extract posts from Yahoo Answers that have the username of the original question author intact. It works beautifully. However, when "auto-posting" all questions are automatically assigned to the site administrator. As a result, all the questions on my site appear to have been asked by me. It just doesn't look very authentic.

    In WP-Answers' defense, I've tried other Yahoo Answers auto-post plugins that exhibit the same behavior. I was told that it's an issue with WordPress. I was just wondering if anyone knows of a workaround that will remedy this username issue until the next version of WP-Answers is released?

    OK, I was thinking that an easier fix for now might be to remove the names of the post authors all together. The comment authors' names could be left intact.

    Any suggestions on how this might be accomplished?

    If you want to remove the author's name,
    open index.php and delete -

    <li class="entryasked">Asked By: <a href="<?php the_author_profile();?>"><?php the_author(); ?></a></li>

    If anyone would like to remove the author of the questions you'll need to...

    1) Remove the line:

    Asked By: "><?php the_author(); ?>

    on line 18 from index.php

    2) Remove the same line:

    Asked By: "><?php the_author(); ?>

    on line 10 from single.php

    That's worked for me, so-far.

    Thanks, Oli! Looks like we were posting simultaneously. :)

    Hey, just to follow up, since I removed the post author I can't mark any of the comments as "best answer". Is there any way around this problem?

Howdy, Stranger!
