Do only VB usergroups that get mapped to Author group can get assigned as author of a post? Do Contributors group be author of a post as well?

thanks

What I did was to create a WP admin (different than "Admin" for safety), another admin user for vB and a second admin in vB that I used to integrate. This way I can login with an administrator's account to make changes but if I want to post a new article, I login with a vB username assigned to a "Authors" gourp in vB with Administrator as a secondary group. That way, what I post in WP appears with my name and not the "integrator's" name. Whatever you write with a Administrator as primary account, the integrator's username will appear as the author.

You would expect this plugin to also feth the user's secondary groups but it doesn't. Just the primary and that should not be a Administrative account for posting articles.

Anyone knows how to keep the original author intact even if it's being edited by other admin/editor

Thank you.

I really don't know how to do this. What I did was to map the "Authors" group in vB as Authors in WP so they can publish articles directly. I would also like to review the articles before they are submitted, but since I'm having the same resoult as you, I rather have a later correction to an article still with their names on so they have the credit for them.
