I’d like the end result to look like this: test.com/author/myname December 22, 2019 at 12:26 pm #1111521 LeoStaff Customer Support Hi there, That is handled by WordPress itself: https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-change-the-author-of-a-post-in-wordpress/ December 22, 2019 at 12:39 pm #1111532 Chris 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 December 22, 2019 at 4:29 pm #1111697 LeoStaff Customer Support 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. December 22, 2019 at 4:37 pm #1111705 Chris I tried saving, but nothing. How could I remove the link from both Author and Date? December 22, 2019 at 4:43 pm #1111716 LeoStaff Customer Support 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: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/meta-style-question/#post-1111549 December 22, 2019 at 5:56 pm #1111772 Chris Sounds good, thank you π December 22, 2019 at 6:05 pm #1111776 LeoStaff Customer Support No problem π Author Posts Viewing 8 posts - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
