It would be nice to have option to remove author meta tag:
<meta name="author" content="Author Name">
It is printed in includes/wp_booster/td_wp_booster_functions.php and mobile/functions.php.
Hello ivpt,
Our theme does not have any option that offers you a way to remove the author meta tag. So, please notice that you can consult this topic here -> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38662199/wordpress-remove-meta-name-author-tag and try to implement that code in your backend.
Thanks for your understanding!
I understand that theme does not have such option. I suggest adding one.
In topic on Stack Overflow you can read in comments “Maybe the theme is adding the author tag”, which is the case here.
Hi ivpy,
Thanks for your suggestion. In a future update, it is possible to implement this one but we cannot say for sure if it will get done in the next update because we have a big list of fixes, improvements, and suggestions to implement. It’s hard to filter them and select which one gets implemented now and which one gets postponed. The developers decide if it gets done or not, though.
Thanks for your understanding!
Although having Post and Custom Post Types/SHOW AUTHOR NAME disabled, theme still prints out <meta name=”author” content=”Author Name”>
Hello lvpt,
Try to comment out this snippet of the code, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/uSCAFyecYS
Thanks for the message!
Thanks for that, but this is a bug and should not be displayed since Custom Post Types/SHOW AUTHOR NAME is disabled.
Hello ivpt,
We will inspect it and if indeed is a bug, we will fix it.
Thanks for the message!
Still not resolved in 7.6.
Hi,
We inspected this and it wasn’t a bug, the author was not displayed on the page/post but the author meta was still active to serve for web search engines crawlers/bots.
For those who want to disable it, we plan to add an option in Theme Panel in one of the next updates.
Thank you!
