How to show submitter's name on posts ?

    Hey,
    I'm in charge of developping a public collaborative blog where content is freely generated by visitors, thanks to Grav Forms. Everything is set up and works well.

    The only thing is that I cannot show the visitor name as the author on published posts. Instead, it shows admin or any other "registered user"...
    It really is a problem for the credibility of our project.
    I cannot believe that GF doesn't have this functionnality since most free alternative plugins have it (like the User submitted posts plugin). I'd just need to set it up on GF.
    Thanks for your help!
    Best,
    Alex

    If you are not requiring the person submitting the post to be a logged in user, then they will never be the 'author' of the post. You can always display the name they submitted in the area where the author would normally be shown, on your post. I would store their information in a post custom field, then use that in your template instead of the post author.
