Do I need to configure anything?
No, this plugin does not need a settings page.
I don’t see the meta box, where is it?
Click ‘Screen Options’ at the upper right corner and check the box next to ‘Author’.
Why can’t I just type the name of the person I want to credit as author instead of having to use a user account?
Well, some themes link the author name to the author archive and that needs a user account to work. So this plugin will not break such theme functions.
What post types are supported?
All public post types are supported, both built-in and custom.
