Adding Author dropdown to custom post type

Hello all, I’m hoping some knowlegable folks here can lend me a hand.

Currently we’re using the Elastico theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFtP3angBRw, which has unfortunately been discontinued as most know, and with it any support from the developer, which is why I hope some experts here will be able to help.

Expanding my site to multiple “authors”, I wanted to assign pre-existing custom portfolio posts to my new members/authors. Unfortunately the “Author” Column in the Portfolio Post Type isn’t added or visible(see image http://www.thecareergamer.com/web/noauthor.jpg), so I’m unable to reassign authors to past posts. I did manage to get the author column listed by simply adding

That said I can now see the author column on the portfolio page… but now I don’t have the dropdown list available like this http://www.thecareergamer.com/web/authordropdown.jpg nor do I have it in the post edit screen. Unfortunately I have no clue where to enable this.

I can provide code snippets and such if need be. Right now I’m thinking it’s a simple block of code that’s missing? I tried a few things over the weekend and failed miserably, which is why I’m asking for some assistance

Any help would be greatly appreciated. At this point I just need the “Author” dropdown to appear either in Quick Edit or the edit post page. This is a custom post type btw. If someone can point me in the right direction that would be equally great. Really need some help here.

Thanks!

Look for some code container something like: ‘supports’ => array(‘title’,’editor’), in there you also need to put ‘author’ like: ‘supports’ => array(‘title’,’editor’,’author’)

This will make the option available in a custom post type

ChapterThemes, thank you very much. I knew it was something deceptively simple. Everything works as expected now. Appreciated!
