Author Byline in Posts

Hi,

How do we add an author byline to posts?
(preferably next to the date)

It’s important for Google Authorship (getting your face in search results). I’ve researched it, but can’t find a definitive answer.

I’ve used the plugin, Authorsure. It’s great, or so I thought. But, that plugin puts a rich snippet on every single page (not just posts), which Google considers spam.

Thanks!

<LOL> my one pet peeve since version 1x.

Right now you have to manually comment this out here in loop-single.php

            <div class="meta-info">
                <?php echo $td_mod_single->get_category();?>
                <?php echo //$td_mod_single->get_author();?>
                <?php echo $td_mod_single->get_date(false);?>
                <?php echo $td_mod_single->get_commentsAndViews();?>
            </div>

to
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_author();?>

I keep trying to press the point that ALL newspapers show a byline for the journalist who writes an article — for the past 100+ years, and this should be *on* by default for the post page. It should be manually turned OFF for those running something other than a NEWSPAPER.

(HINT: RADU AND CO – please make this the NORM !!!! Author = ON for post page!)

Hi, Radu,
thanks 🙂

This has been my only outstanding … “c’mon folks” thing since every newspaper ever published puts the author byline on the article, hence the oddity in not having that “on” for the posts for a newspaper theme.

With the folks who “swipe” content to fill pages not really an issue, but for those who make news articles and first publish them, it’s a necessity for copyright, attribution, and google authorship requirements, etc.

Thanks for the reply 🙂

I’d guess and on/off button might be best choice…. but I’m sure you have something in mind already.

Would love this feature asap please.

Thx.

I would like this feature too, thanks!

You guys are great! I wish everyone here success in their sites!
