Quick Question - I have username as the default author name for all blogs, how do i change a single blog post to use the real name of a user for the author name instead of the username?

I only want to use the real name in the row below the title, not the profile content at the bottom of the post.

See this post where is want to use the real name of the author.
Hey Richard,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. Unfortunately there is no way to change it per post and your best bet is probably to use the virtual alias feature but that would cause the blog post to not display the author at the bottom.

No worries Mark, I had another look at the settings and if I use Nickname i think i can get round the problem without affecting the Real Name/Username settings in any of the profiles that are set up as Authors (having 3 options for author is a really good idea, thank you).

Yes, it works perfectly (in fact Real Name and Nickname are both ok). All good now!
