[Resolved] Remove author link

[Matthew]

Hi,

I’ve used the Entry Meta Style, Example 1, from this link here:

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/entry-meta-style/

I’d like to remove the author link, but the advice I’ve seen in other forum posts doesn’t seem to work for this situation.

Is there a way of doing it?

Hi there,

try the snippet provided here:

Hi David,

Unfortunately, the code given there also results in the gravatar image not displaying.

Is there anything else I can try?

Replace this snippet:

add_filter( 'generate_post_author_output', function() {
    return sprintf( ' <span class="byline">%1$s</span>',
        sprintf( '<span class="author vcard" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author">%4$s<a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="author"><span class="author-name" itemprop="name">%3$s</span></a></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() ),
            get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) )
        )
    );
} );

with this:

add_filter( 'generate_post_author_output', function() {
    return sprintf( ' <span class="byline">%1$s</span>',
        sprintf( '<span class="author vcard" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author">%4$s<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() ),
            get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) )
        )
    );
} );
