NO BUG: {author_name} showing first and last name instead of display name

Hi,

I wanted to clarify how {author_name} works.
At the moment, it is displaying the user’s first and last name instead of the display name.

Is this the expected behaviour for {author_name}, or is there another macro/tag that should be used to display the user’s display name instead?

Thanks.

Hi @Suleiman ,

Yes, {author_name} will output first name + last name if both of them are not empty. Otherwise, it will automatically fall back to the display_name

If you want to always show only the display name, please use {author_meta:display_name}.

Regards,
Jenn

Oh I see thank you. Usually, it means the display name.
