Author Card – Remove Website Link or No-Follow It

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi guys,

Could you guide me please?

How can I remove the Author link from the author card across the board? Even if it’s mentioned in the Author profile in the WP backend, I don’t want the link to show up in the box below the post.

If that’s not possible, is there a way to no-follow it as sitewide links to a certain domain is not good SEO.

So, please let me know how can I either remove the link from appearing in the box or no-follow it from the backend via theme code.

Thanks

Hello,

There is no setting for this so both your options have to be made through hard-coding. Either you remove or add no-follow to the link, it;s up to you. Here is where the link is being created: http://screencast.com/t/pRHjMIOqwX

Thanks for the reply Bogdan.

I’m not a coder so could you let me know with what code should I replace the the line you highlighted to make that link nofollow?

Please let me know. Thanks.

I will like to disable links in profile description and not on Author name even if the url is set by user when editing profile. Please help provide code to use and it placement.

Hi,
Based on your other topic, you mentioned the links are ones your authors add. The theme has no control over what content you users add on their description. If you want them to be nofollow, you will have to edit their descriptuion as you have the admin rights, and modify their html code from the link adding nofollow tho it manually. The theme has no options to edit custom content added by users.
Thank you!
