Hello, is there a way to make the author’s name and the date on posts not clickable?

Thanks again for your help.

Hi Leo, if this is too much to ask don’t worry about it. I know this doesn’t really fall into the scope of support but I tried adding that code and it did add the unclickable author name and date, but there were 2 of them since I am currently using this code. I think some of the fields as slightly different.

add_filter( ‘generate_post_author’, ‘__return_false’ );
add_filter( ‘generate_post_date_output’, function( $date ) {
printf(
‘<span class=”meta-gravatar”>%s</span>’,
get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( ‘ID’ ) )
);

echo ‘<span class=”meta-data”>’;

printf( ‘ <span class=”byline”>%1$s</span>’,
sprintf( ‘<span class=”author vcard” itemtype=”http://schema.org/Person&#8221; itemscope=”itemscope” itemprop=”author”><span class=”author-name” itemprop=”name”>%3$s</span></span>’,
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() )
)
);

echo $date;

echo ‘</span>’;
} );

Hi there,

you can disable the pointer events using this CSS:

.byline .author a {
    pointer-events: none;
}

Then just

.posted-on a {
pointer-events: none;
}

To disable the date link right?
