Hi, every post has an author link.
There is only one author on my site so I redirect back to the homepage.
The link shows up in crawlers but I cant actually see it on the site.
Is there anyway of removing the link?
my site is http://www.homeremedyhacks.com
Hi,
How would I access the author page, except looking through the page source? You seem to removed author name for blocks and also from the post pages, there are no author boxes as well.
Do you use the Yoast SEO plugin or a SEO plugin with author archive settings?
Hi
I checked the code and the author link is in the footer but is hidden. I do use yoast and I have removed the author visible tags (i foget how I did it, – is it a theme setitng?). But this link remains embedded in the footer but hidden.
This is the code.
<div class=”td-author-name vcard author” style=”display: none”><span class=”fn”>homeremedyhacks</span></div>
Hi,
The author can be enabled in blocks/modules here

For the post page and author box here – https://www.screencast.com/t/2Th20ub0
Without displaying these the website visitors would have no way of reaching the author page.
The redirection issue happens in most cases if the author archives are disabled in the Yoast settings here

Please check if that is the case.
The code you mention is required by Google to be available in the post pages. If not loaded you will have structured data errors

The theme loads all the necessary structured data by default.
Thanks
