How to change name in author link
7 replies · Started by Chris on December 22, 2019
For example:
If you hover over my name in one of my articles, you'll see a link like this:
test.com/author/test@gmail.com
How do I change the text after /author/. I'd like the end result to look like this:
test.com/author/myname
Hi there,
That is handled by WordPress itself:
https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-change-the-author-of-a-post-in-wordpress/
I followed it and in the posts page, it shows my author name: http://prntscr.com/qeel8z. But in the link, it shows my email address, like this:
test.com/author/test@gmail.com
I think you'd have to resave the permalink settings:
https://wordpress.org/support/article/settings-permalinks-screen/
This is handled by WordPress again.
If this doesn't work then please check with WordPress' support.
I tried saving, but nothing.
How could I remove the link from both Author and Date?
You'd need to check with the hosting support for the permalink question, unfortunately.
I'll remove the links in this topic when I get to it:

Sounds good, thank you :)
No problem :)
