How do you remove authors completely?

Hi
I’ve tried everything in the theme settings but nothing has worked yet. When i post an article it says “category by username – date”. How do i remove the “by username”?

This is in the breadcrumbs btw. In posts it doesn’t show author name at all. But on the front page and under categories it shows the author name, and clicking on it leads to the homepage.

I had already done the first thing, and when i tried the second thing it was already commented. It still keeps showing author name here and when people share my stuff on facebook.

They are closed weekends so bumps don’t do anything.

Did you try editing the template files to remove the author slug ?

There is more than one template … so if you’re a specific template you’d need to comment it there too.

I think you can also try the “search” template. I always edit that with each update to remove breadcrumbs.

Tried it all still nothing :/

Note the facebook sharing has nothing to do with the modules …. that only impacts what is printed on the site.

The Facebook sharing element — if you read the FB docs — comes from the “author” tag in the META data.

So, to remove that in FB sharing, you’d need to eliminate the author tag completely, or perhaps do what we did on one site which was hard code the author tag with the sitename, so it might print on FB ss

sitename.com | The Cool Magazine Name

Hope that helped 🙂

Thanks for all the help! Do you have any tips on what code i should change to make it show “sitename.com | The Cool Magazine Name” instead of “sitename.com | Author Name”? 🙂

We just edited the header.php file to add the meta tag for author.

Using Yoast SEO plugin helps too.
