Authors are attributed credit in most of the WordPress posts published on the internet, causing the top of the post to display &#8220;XYZ wrote this post.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Some blog site owners do not wish to show authors\u2019 names. Instead, they want to remove or hide their identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-is-it-possible-to-hide-or-remove-the-author-s-name-once-it-is-published\"><strong>Is it possible to hide or remove the author\u2019s name once it is published?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">WordPress does not by default have a setting for author name removal, but there are four ways to achieve so.

Let\u2019s get into the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-why-author-s-name-should-be-omitted-from-the-post\"><strong>Why author\u2019s name should be omitted from the post?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">The fact is that the name of the Author On WordPress post is an important part of the metadata on every website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">The writers who write the blog&#8217;s material need to be known to the readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">When multiple writers like freelancers contribute equally to a single blog, then only the issue creates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">As we discussed in the earlier section of this blog, major media outlets like news channels, news magazines, and newspapers have various teams made up of numerous writers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">In these big business enterprises, a collaborative job system does the function. So there may create conflicts between the writers. An organization can\u2019t be unfair to the other writer for the sake of one author.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">In such a situation removing the author\u2019s name or hiding it becomes advantageous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Also, when an Author On WordPress is writing about any sensitive or controversial matter, thy prefer to mention their name as an author or work under pseudonyms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">In WordPress websites, by default, you cannot remove or hide the name of the Author On WordPress as we stated in the earlier section. For a specific post to be published, you must select the author&#8217;s name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-so-how-to-remove-the-author-s-name-from-a-wordpress-post\"><strong>So how to remove the author\u2019s name from a WordPress post?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">In this blog, we will discuss the three methods using which you can be able to remove the name of an author from your WordPress post. So let\u2019s start a journey with the first method. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-method-1-manually-remove-the-author-s-name-from-the-wordpress-website\"><strong>Method 1: Manually remove the author&#8217;s name from the WordPress website<\/strong>.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Websites are built using a specific layout and a predetermined <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vwthemes.com\/top-author-wordpress-themes\/\">Top Author WordPress Theme<\/a><\/strong>. It has calculated dimensions with a variety of components, including sliders, headers, footers, sidebars, and text and images. So the theme displays the name of the author in your blog post. The themes used the proper place to display it with multiple approaches which plugins cannot do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">If you want to remove it, then you need to understand the codes. You have to edit the code to hide or remove the author\u2019s name. But before you edit the code, you need to take a backup of your theme. It will be beneficial for you to restore the changes if something goes wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">To display the name of an Author On WordPress website, the theme uses multiple code variations. Therefore, you must locate and remove the code that is responsible for displaying the author name on your blog post in the theme files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">You can find the code in single.php, content.php, archive.php, and index.php files. These are general locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Sometimes, you cannot track down the code that is used to display the name of the Author On WordPress. Instead, you may find the template tag defined in the&nbsp;functions.php file&nbsp;or template-tags.php file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">For example, the default Twenty Nineteen theme has the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">function&nbsp;twentynineteen_posted_by that is specially defined to present the author\u2019s name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">The template-tags.php file contains the code listed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">function twentynineteen_posted_by() {<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; printf(<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#8216;&lt;span class=&#8221;byline&#8221;&gt;%1$s&lt;span class=&#8221;screen-reader-text&#8221;&gt;%2$s&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;span class=&#8221;author vcard&#8221;&gt;&lt;a class=&#8221;url fn n&#8221; href=&#8221;%3$s&#8221;&gt;%4$s&lt;\/a&gt;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/span&gt;&#8217;,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; twentynineteen_get_icon_svg( &#8216;person&#8217;, 16 ),<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; __( &#8216;Posted by&#8217;, &#8216;twentynineteen&#8217; ),<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( &#8216;ID&#8217; ) ) ),<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; esc_html( get_the_author() )<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; );<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">endif;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">You can remove the code that causes the author&#8217;s name to appear on your website once you locate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Now in the above code, you have to remove the second line to the ninth line. After that, you will have the following code-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">function twentynineteen_posted_by() {<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">endif;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Don&#8217;t forget to click the &#8220;Save&#8221; button and return the files to your website. Now you can visit the website the see if the name of the author has been removed or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vwthemes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image1.png\" alt=\"image1\" class=\"wp-image-96019\" srcset=\"https:\/\/preview.vwthemesdemo.com\/old_website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image1.png 550w, https:\/\/preview.vwthemesdemo.com\/old_website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image1-64x38.png 64w, https:\/\/preview.vwthemesdemo.com\/old_website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image1-300x178.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">In this way, you can hide or remove the author\u2019s name on all your posts; however, you can see the author\u2019s archive pages intact with the web link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">The whole list of articles authored by a certain author is available on a WordPress author archive page.
