无法通过Blogdown更改帖子作者

Question

I have successfully used the blogdown R package for a few months now for the blog of my team at work, until the moment I was not the only author anymore.

At that point I realized that the author's name specified in the blog post was not really taken into account. Instead, it was read by default from the config.toml .

The relevant part of my config.toml looks like this:

[Author]
name = "Darth Vader"
profile = "https://linkedin.com/in/darthvader/"

And the top part of the specific blog post is structured like follows:

---
title: A new hope
author: Luke Skywalker
date: '2017-10-10'
---

However, it is Darth Vader that invariably appears as the post author, regardless of what the author: field contains. If I leave the config.toml 's field empty, then no name at all appears once the .Rmd is rendered.

Am I doing something wrong?

Copying from the discussion under the main post:

I contacted the theme maintainer and the bug is now gone! https://github.com/jbub/ghostwriter/commit/d40349f7692bd3a0b2e99798dba6d6b87c10d12c
