Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

U.OSU Pseudonym

U.OSU Pseudonym allows you to show a different author name on published posts. This allows you to have a (known) guest write a post for you. You may upload and publish it, but have their name show up instead of your own.

Once activated, you will notice a Pseudonym widget on all Edit Post pages.

If you do not see the widget, and have successfully activated Pseudonym, click Screen Options and check the Pseudonym box. Widgets only appear on the Edit Post page if the appropriate checkbox is selected.

Once published, you will see the chosen Pseudonym name in the "Posted by" section.
