Function to alter author name presentation

Posted in: Newsmag

Hi, not sure if this is off topic as it’s not entirely theme related and more wordpress relates, and cannot seem to locat a solution.

Basically ran into issue where WP tends to auto capitalize first letter of “author” name on site templates, RSS feed, etc., and recently when working with client, ran into issue where their company name as author for posts, normal WP post types, not CPT, would always capitalize first word.

so,
accessileTECH
would always become
AccessibleTECH

which is kinda annoying. I don’t want to use CSS to change the text transform, as that does not impact RSS feeds where inserting author name in the tags would still do that transform.

Seems like it should be function, but have no idea what function to use.
If any kind soul has possible solution — would be awesome.

Idea is not to make all names lower case, but simply to disable WP by default initial capping the author name.

I guess there was similar issue with sitename once upon a time, but obviously different element.

Thanks in advance folks! 🙂

Hi,
Normally, if it is from the theme settings, what you can do is to make sure that the font for the author is set to default, in this way it should be displayed exactly as it is written – https://i.imgur.com/Kg7Ydwy.png
In case you are using a Newspaper theme it is possible to have the cloud template, which can be checked using tagDiv Composer.
Thank you!

AHA! *doh* 🙂
Does that setting also impact presentation in RSS feed?

I’ll try and see wassup on that.

Thanks!

Hi,
Normally, it should also apply to the RSS feed -https://i.imgur.com/o4DrPwG.png
