Remove Author

[Tim]

Hello

Appearance > Customise > Blog > Content > Archive + Single

“Display post author” is unchecked.

But still the author-name and author-box are displayed in a post.

Shouldn’t those be removed ?

Also are there any other steps to prevent author pages being discovered via sear or absolute paths etc ?

Thanks

Tim

Hi there,

that option only effects the standard post meta.

1. Author name. You need to edit the Header Element and remove the {{post_author}} template tag
2. The Volume Site uses a Custom Hook – in Appearance > Elements – delete the Author Box hook to remove it. Or you can can Quick Edit and change the Status to Draft to disable it.

Ah I see, ok I’m starting to see more of how this structure works now.

Thank you David.

Yeah – installing a Site when you’re new to GP can create a bit of confusion.
Sites don’t just install theme settings – but mostly include Customizer > Additional CSS and can include Elements.

And as general rule regarding hierarchy:

1. Customizer settings applies globally.
But as the Themes code is full of hooks – actions and filters you can change most pieces. For example the Blog Options filter:

Now you can have a different layout for different archives.

2. Elements
Hooks and Headers are very similar except the latter comes with controls for designing Heros and ( without using filter ) always displays in the same place.
Layout Elements allow you to make changes to some customizer settings. As well as apply Layouts and Disable things.

3. Layout & Disable Element Metaboxes
Both of these are in the post editor allowing you to make changes at a post level.

When it comes to layouts: 3 beats 2 and 2 beats 1…..

Hope that helps
