I don’t know why, but the count of comments on the authorspage is always less and inaccurate.
Is this because i had before another templaten?
Thanks for your anwer.
Hello,
when you changed the theme, newspaper starts from 0. There is no easy way to automatically integrate view counters from one theme to another. I can search for a solution for your case if you let me know what theme did you used before.
Also if you are using caching plugins, they may interfere with the view counter.
A fake view counter will help you? I’m thinking to add an option in the next version to generate credible fake views for each article.
Hello Radu,
How do I remove the comments counter at the authorspage? That is also OK for me.
Thanks!
Hi, yes; likely removing the “comments count” from the author page via CSS would likely be good. Another would be the option to enter a starting number per author. This would be useful in our case where we are migrating a couple of sites together into one NEW site, and some of the old articles we’re also moving over the comments manually. So, right now on a paltry 40 stories, it wouldn’t be too hard to enter a starting comments value as a field in the author/user info page as another data field. This way, one could extrapolate a per author “starting number” moving forward. So, we have one article with 10 comments, another with 3, another with 2, and another with 1 for one of the authors. Putting in a starting or “padding” number for that single author/user of “16” would totally make this rock and roll for us and be better than “0” 🙂
Hello,
You have an option in Theme customizer to hide the comments count http://screencast.com/t/arW5uwNdt
Hi Marius,
I searched for that option, and now I see that there is an update of the theme. Thanks!
Normally I get a warning for an update in the WordPress dashboard. With your theme not? That’s why I didn’t notice the update.
Ok, just updated the theme to the newest version… but… now all view counts are reset to zero..
Hello,
The theme don’t have yet an auto-update button directly from WordPress, but is in our todo list for future updates.
Please can you send me a screenshot with custom fields of a post like this: http://screencast.com/t/69ji3R9unwM If you don’t have it when edit a post activate it from top Screen options http://screencast.com/t/IkHQCV9r
I want to see what you have there.
Hello, I have the new Newspaper 6. I can’t seem to hide the number of comments on the Authors page even though I have turned this off in the template settings. How can I turn this off or hide it? Thanks.
Hi,
Do you refer to the author comments? – http://screencast.com/t/jSt01W0oJl If you do there is no option to hide this from Theme Panel, you will have to use custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css – http://screencast.com/t/WduvbckcW5
.author .td-author-comments-count {
display: none;
}
Thanks!
That’s perfect! Thank you so much.
One more thing, if I want to change “POSTS” to “ARTICLES”, where can I change this?
Thanks.

Thanks!
That’s perfect, thank you.
Hello, since updating to 8.5.1, the following code no longer works:
.author .td-author-comments-count {
display: none;
}
Hello,
The same code works as expected. I just tested it on 8.6 and there is no change to the author comments markup.
Thanks.
I have checked the code and it is as above, but it is still showing up on the author’s page: https://brandingforum.org/author/oliviapearce/.
The code works: https://www.screencast.com/t/IiCXYVTkVzNq
The comments are not there anymore. The code removes the comments. I cannot see any author comments.
Thanks.
This is so strange because I can still see them in both Firefox and Chrome.
