How to Merge Two Authors Into One?

Yes, this is a good question and the answer is basic WordPress 101 (core), contrary to the two comments above. No plugin necessary. You simply go to Users and delete the author (user) that you don’t want to keep. WordPress then asks you if you want to delete their content or attribute it to another user. Choose the author (user) you wish to keep and it will attribute all their posts across. Users/authors merged.
