Hello,
How can I remove the link that is in the photo and in the author’s name? I want to totally remove these links (this is about crawlers and losing crawl budget).
Below in the screenshot the items that need to be modified. I want the links to be gone (CSS is not the solution here)
I am using TagDiv Composer to build the post and I found these elements in PHP. They are located in the td-cloud-library plugin.
Path to the file – td-cloud-library/shortcodes/single/tdb_single_author.php
A fix is required in this file (removing the link from the author’s photo and from the author’s name), but I don’t know how to do it, because I don’t want to overwrite the plugin (I care about updates). What other way can I modify it? Is it possible to somehow create a path in child-theme to overwrite this file or maybe you know another solution?
Hello @Artur1004!
This issue has been discussed already here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-disable-the-author-url/
Thank you!
Hi @Bettina
The solution that is found in the link you sent I described that I can do and I even gave the path to the file where the content should be corrected.
The problem is that if I update the theme (td-cloud-library plugin) then the fix disappears. I would like to update normally in such a way that the change remains overwritten, which is why I started this topic asking for help.
I will ask again. How can I fix these items but in such a way that the changes remain after the update. Can you send me a filter that I can put in the functions.php file or how can I create a path in child-theme that will work and in it will be the modification of this code from Path to the file – td-cloud-library/shortcodes/single/tdb_single_author.php
I think this is a problem that I’m not the only one having, because a lot of SEOs want to have a good crawl budget on the site and don’t want to index author links.
Can you please check my answer again and help me with this problem?
Hello @artur1004!
The easiest solution is to avoid using that author element.
Check this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
The child theme is not overwritten by the update. An issue for that could be the compatibility of your child theme with the new version of our theme(if you use some files which were updated). If you’ll have some custom modifications directly in the theme files, then better save the code and replace it after the update.
Please note that the customization(code) will require custom work which is not covered by the support team.
Thank you so much for understanding!
