Hi
How to remove "By" from author byline?
Because it is an incorrect language design when the text is in Lithuanian.

Hi there,
Give this function a try:
add_filter( 'generate_post_author_output', 'tu_remove_by_byline' );
function tu_remove_by_byline() {
printf( ' <span class="byline">%1$s</span>', // WPCS: XSS ok, sanitization ok.
sprintf( '<span class="author vcard" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author"><a class="url fn n" href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="author" itemprop="url"><span class="author-name" itemprop="name">%3$s</span></a></span>',
esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
/* translators: 1: Author name */
esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'generatepress' ), get_the_author() ) ),
esc_html( get_the_author() )
)
);
}
Thanks
Very good, that works :-)
I still have one request:
From site library I loaded FlixFrame "Blogg".
How to separate a date and author with a vertical bar.
I would like to keep the style like in the example from FlixFrame "Blogg"

Try this CSS:
.author:before {
content: "| ";
}
Thanks a lot!
You're welcome :)
