1. How to fix missing author

First thing you need to do, is to back up your template

Step 1: Login to blogger dashboard => Template => Edit Template => click anywhere inside the code area and press Ctrl + F to open the search box and search for 'post-author vcard' 

when you hit Enter, it will show something like this

<div class='post-header-line-1'/>

<span class='post-author vcard'>

Step 2: Just replace the following code at the second line above

<span class='post-author vcard'>
      <b:if cond='data:top.showAuthor'>
        <data:top.authorLabel/>
             <b:if cond='data:post.authorProfileUrl'>
             <span class='fn'>
             <a expr:href='data:post.authorProfileUrl' rel='author' title='author profile'>
             <data:post.author/>
             </a>
             </span>
             <b:else/>
             <span class='fn'><data:post.author/></span>
             </b:if>
     </b:if>
</span>
