Comment (by gabrieldiggs):

 Thanks for the quick follow up! This behavior is new. I've been using the
 same theme for many years and only just noticed this issue/change. So it
 could be my theme but it would be due to a recent change in the WordPress
 code that I need to compensate for with an update to my theme. I just have
 no idea where to start in troubleshooting this issue. Can you confirm that
 my theme is using the correct php language to display the Author name:
 <?php echo $author_name; ?>
