Hello, i want to ask - how to make another author? right now it says on all my blogposts its by my name, but I want to name just to be the websites name so the author is anonymous because we are multiple people writing the blogs and articles? Hope you can help.
Hi @Annesimonep
If you want to change the blog author name, you have to create a staff account and name it as your website name or whatever you want then you could select it in a dropdown menu in the author section.
Iâm attaching a tutorial video that will walk you step by step through how to achieve this.
If you find this answer is helpful, please mark it as a solution.
All the best.

Hi @Annesimonep !
Itâs great to see you connecting with us here in the Community.
As mentioned by @AvadaCommerce , for now the blog post author can only be tied to the account owner name or a staff account name, you could create a staff profile called âanonymousâ and use that for your blogs. If you wish to add a staff account in order to have a different name/pseudonym, then you can follow along with our help center guide here.
After you added the staff account, next you can head to the settings of your blog post and switch the author name, see step 5, below:
Another alternative for you would be to use a third party app. Have a look at this app here called Custom Authors as it might suit your needs. While this is not a native feature within the admin, I do think it would be beneficial to be able to make the author anonymous. I will be forwarding this feedback to our developer team for review. Hopefully, this might be considered in the future.
Aside from that, how is business going? Are you working on any goals right now for 2022? Iâd love to help you out and hear more!
Thank you that was helpful. my goal is to add a LMS site to my shopify account, I have been working in simplero but found out it is not good at integrating with other platform, so now I am looking for another solution as to where my online courses will be held. I think I might try the shopify app called âcoursesâ or the page called âlearn worldsâ which says it should be able to integrate with my shopify store. I just want a easy user experience 
Hi @Annesimonep !
No problem, super happy I was able to help!
That sounds like an amazing service to offer on your store, may I ask what kind of courses you offer? I would definitely recommend using an app already on our app store if you can, as integrations can be somewhat tricky at times.
I had a closer look into the app âCoursesâ for you and from what I can see it has a high star rating and the developer support is very helpful and easy to get in touch with. Furthermore, Iâd suggest trying out their free plan first and see how you get on with that and go from there! With apps that appear on our app store here, you can easily reach the developers by clicking on the âget supportâ button. Alternatively, we can get in touch with them for you on your behalf if any help is ever needed.
Aside from the above, I was able to find an interesting blog here, which talks about selling courses on your store, have a look when you have some free time as you might find it useful. If you have any other questions or anything is unclear, then please donât hesitate to ask. I wish you the very best in your Shopify journey!
Hello,
We have permission for only 2 staff, one is for store and the other is for marketing group. Hence unable to add another staff account to create for author name for blog post.
What can we do then?
Hey @MystiqLiving !
Thanks for hopping on this thread!
As you mentioned youâre only able to add two staff members, I am assuming the store is on the basic plan here. In this case, the only workarounds would be to use an app like the one above I mentioned or have a Shopify Expert here at this link custom code this for you, so it always shows âAuthorâ or similar. I was able to find some more apps below for you which allow you to have multiple authors, have a look:
In the meantime, I will add this to the existing feature request for similar functionality, so once I submit this as a feature request on your behalf, our team can review the request. Hopefully, this can be something that is available in the future.
Aside from that, how is business going?
