I can’t get the author name to display in K2 items. I have set “show author” in the item view options in parameters at both a category level and also tried for individual items. But it just does not show up. Most of my authors are author aliases, in which nothing shows up, but when viewing articles by actual author (admin) there is no author displayed at top, only at the bottom with list of other articles by same author.
I am using teline iv template, but author still does not appear if “default” layout template is selected in parameters.

Hi,
You see my attached image. So I think default K2 article doesn’t show author on top. So you want to put author name on top. You do following step:
– Open <joomla url>templatesja_teline_ivhtmlcom_k2templatesteline_iv_blogitem.php file. Add

<?php echo $this->item->author->name; ?>
after

<?php echo $this->item->title; ?>
