    If you add both, it will only read the latest instance of it (the second one).

    I would like that both are gone, the Author Link, and Post-Date, but that does not work for me.

    This function should only show the author with no link – nothing else:

    if ( ! function_exists( 'generate_posted_on' ) ) :
    /**
     * Prints HTML with meta information for the current post-date/time and author.
     */
    function generate_posted_on() {
    
    	if ( 'post' !== get_post_type() )
    		return;
    
    	printf( __( '<span class="byline">%1$s</span>', 'generate' ),
    		sprintf( '<span class="author vcard" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author">%1$s <span class="author-name" itemprop="name">%2$s</span></span>',
    			__( 'by','generate'),
    			esc_html( get_the_author() )
    		)
    	);
    }
    endif;

    Is there a way that I can remove both (Author Link & Post-Date) complete from Code?

    The above code will remove the post date and the link to the author from the code.

    The only thing it will display is the author name (no link).

    Well guys, I don’t bother with adding any extra codes to anywhere.

    I just simply find the lines in the theme codes which are pertinent to the date and author and I just remove them.
    I’ve been doing this for a long time with many of many themes, works every time.

    The only downside is that when the theme is updated sometimes you have to do it again – or just upload your edited code. (depends on the theme/update).
    But since I am paranoid I keep many dated backups (even as plain files!) on my local machines anyway, so it’s not a problem.

    That’s one way, Dany. The downside is as you said, having to re-do it every time.

    The way I’ve outlined makes it so you only ever have to do it once ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hello Tom,

    It’s worked for disabling link author. Thank you!

    But i need another code disabling link for dates too. Please help.

    To remove the link from dates, you would do this:

    add_filter( 'generate_post_date_output','tu_remove_date_link', 10, 2 );
    function tu_remove_date_link( $output, $time_string ) {
    	printf( '<span class="posted-on">%s</span>',
    		$time_string
    	);
    }

    To remove the link from the author, you would do this:

    add_filter( 'generate_post_author_output','tu_no_author_link' );
    function tu_no_author_link() {
    	printf( ' <span class="byline">%1$s</span>',
    		sprintf( '<span class="author vcard" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author">%1$s <span class="fn n author-name" itemprop="name">%4$s</span></span>',
    			__( 'by','generatepress'),
    			esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
    			esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'generatepress' ), get_the_author() ) ),
    			esc_html( get_the_author() )
    		)
    	);
    }

    Hi Tom! I use the following code through Code Snippet to remove the link from dates:

    add_filter( ‘generate_post_date_output’,’tu_remove_date_link’, 10, 2 );
    function tu_remove_date_link( $output, $time_string ) {
    printf( ‘<span class=”posted-on”>%s</span>’,
    $time_string
    );
    }

    BUT it’s not working. Is it because I’m using another code so my post only show the las update? Or what im doing wrong?

    Hi there,

    Do you have any other functions using the generate_post_date_output filter?

    #873634

    No, just the code to show the Last Update in my posts. Specifically this one:

    if ( ! function_exists( ‘generate_posted_on’ ) ) :
    /**
    * Prints HTML with meta information for the current post-date/time and author.
    */
    function generate_posted_on()
    {
    $date = apply_filters( ‘generate_post_date’, true );
    $author = apply_filters( ‘generate_post_author’, true );
    //if ( get_the_time( ‘U’ ) !== get_the_modified_time( ‘U’ ) )
    $time_string .= ‘<time class=”updated” datetime=”%3$s” itemprop=”dateModified”>%4$s</time>’;
    $time_string = sprintf( $time_string,
    esc_attr( get_the_date( ‘c’ ) ),
    esc_html( get_the_date() ),
    esc_attr( get_the_modified_date( ‘c’ ) ),
    esc_html( get_the_modified_date() )
    );

    // If our date is enabled, show it
    if ( $date ) :
    printf( ‘<span style=”float: left; margin-right: 3px;”>Actualizado:</span><span class=”posted-on”>%1$s</span>’,
    sprintf( ‘%3$s‘,
    esc_url( get_permalink() ),
    esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
    $time_string
    )
    );
    endif;

    // If our author is enabled, show it
    if ( $author ) :
    printf( ‘ <span class=”byline”>%1$s</span>’,
    sprintf( ‘<span class=”author vcard” itemtype=”http://schema.org/Person&#8221; itemscope=”itemscope” itemprop=”author”>%1$s <span class=”author-name” itemprop=”name”>%4$s</span></span>’,
    __( ‘by’,’generatepress’),
    esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( ‘ID’ ) ) ),
    esc_attr( sprintf( __( ‘View all posts by %s’, ‘generatepress’ ), get_the_author() ) ),
    esc_html( get_the_author() )
    )
    );
    endif;

    }
    endif;

    That code is the issue. You can likely ditch it and do this: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/show-the-updated-post-date/
