2. Go to the edit page for the post in question.
3. In the upper-right corner of the page find the Screen Options tab and click it.
   
4. Check the author box.
   
5. Scroll down the page and you’ll no find an Author dropdown list.
   
6. Change the author as needed.
7. Click the blue Update button.
