Remove Link From Author Box

Hello,

If you need to disable the author for seo reasons, please simply use the seo yoast plugin which fixes this with the click of a button.
The alternative is editing the theme code and you will need coding skills.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Hi heizungshelden,

Please notice that these changes in theme files will be overwrite when you’ll update the theme. If you only want to remove the link from the author profile, please provide me a link to it and I will provide a css that will do the work.

Thank you for your understanding!

Hi,

As I can see now the link from the author box is link to homepage not to author page how it should be -> https://i.imgur.com/wWTnuL4.png, maybe the author archives are disabled in the Yoast plugin, if they are author links will be redirected to the homepage. Check if that is the case – http://prntscr.com/mbwwuk
How ever if you still want to remove the clickable from the image you ca use this custom css -> https://i.imgur.com/JHWFv4a.png
.author-box-wrap a{
pointer-events: none;
text-decoration: none;
}
The code need to be set in theme panel> custom code> custom css.

Hope this will help you!
Thank you!
