            Description Original: h3. Issue Summary

            Using the [Blog Posts macro|https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-blog-posts-macro/], entries may show the incorrect blog post author. Upon investigation, it appears in situations where the 1st version of a blog post was co-edited.

            The author does not match the author displayed on the blog post.
            h3. Steps to Reproduce
             # Create a blog post and use the shared draft to collaborate on the post with additional users.
             # Save the blog post, ensuring that version 1 shows as being edited by more than one person.
             # Insert the Blog Posts macro on another page. The author may not match the author according to the blog post.

            h3. Expected Results

            The blog post author according to the macro should match the blog post.
            h3. Actual Results

            The incorrect author is displayed for posts co-edited. Blog posts with only one author show the correct author.

            The blog post history shows {color:#de350b}Person B{color} wrote the original version, and {color:#00875a}Person A{color} was one of the co-editors of that version. (/)
