I want to remove the author and comment links from the homepage. I already have them turned off for the post but they still show on the homepage.

Hi,

You can disable the author name and comment count displayed on modules/blocks here

Simion, Thanks for the instructions. I was able to use the Theme Panel to disable the author name across all blocks/modules. But how do I activate the author name for just one block only (block 21) so it features posts from our guest writers? Thanks, Robert

Hi,

In that case you could do it like this, using some css. First enter a code that will hide all the post author names on all the blocks in the homepage, the enable it on just that particular block

In your case should be like this, the code will apply only for the homepage, if you want it to apply everywhere just remove the home class from the code. You must enter it in Theme panel->Custom Css section.

.home .td-post-author-name {
display: none;
}
.home .td_block_21 .td-post-author-name {
display: inline-block;
}

Thanks

Thank you for the code; it worked! I just had to go into the Theme Panel and set “SHOW AUTHOR NAME” to blue so it would not preempt the code.

Simion, hello!

How can I remove Author Link (link to page site/author/name), but leave author name in posts?

Hi,


@Dmitry_Lupich
If you mean the author name on the blocks and modules, you can disable it in the theme panel like shown in the screenshot, and it will not be displayed. The author name will appear normally on posts.
If you wanted something else please provide more details about this, and I will try to give you a solution.

Thanks

Hi,

Try removing the link for the author from the code, in this file

The author should display in the post page without any link attached to it, if that is what you want.
