Are you trying to figure out how to remove the Author from posts and archive pages in the Canvas theme in WordPress? \u00a0Or are trying to remove the category by leave the rest?<\/p>\n

It’s actually really easy.<\/p>\n

\"removeauthor\"<\/p>\n

Firstly, What Doesn’t Work<\/h2>\n

If you want to remove the whole post meta line (author name, date and category) then most people recommend using .post-meta{display:none}<\/code> in your CSS.<\/p>\n

This is OK if you want to hide all of it. \u00a0But if you just want to\u00a0remove part of the line it doesn’t work. \u00a0You can hide the author name using CSS, but the word “by” is still there. Which doesn’t make sense.<\/p>\n

How to Remove Any Part of the Post-Meta Line in Canvas Theme<\/h2>\n

Thankfully there is actually a really easy way to edit this in Canvas.<\/p>\n

In your Admin area simply go to Canvas > Filters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You’ll see there is a section titled “Above post content” which\u00a0controls exactly what is shown in the post-meta.<\/p>\n

It looks like this:<\/p>\n

\"abovepostcontent\"<\/p>\n

So all you have to do is remove whichever section you don’t want.<\/p>\n

For example\u00a0if you don’t want the Author to show, delete <span class=\"small\">By<\/span>[[post_author_posts_link]]<\/code>
\nThen hit ‘Save Changes’ and the author is gone.<\/p>\n

Remove the Author Box and Subscription Box<\/h2>\n

You’ll also want to remove the Author box from the bottom of the posts. \u00a0And you may want to to remove the “Subscribe” box too.<\/p>\n

These can both be removed in the Canvas settings. The author box and subscribe box looks like this:<\/p>\n

\"author<\/p>\n

To Remove the Author Box<\/h3>\n

Go to Canvas > Styling & Layout > Posts \/ Pages<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scroll down and tick “Disable Post Author”.<\/p>\n

\"disable_author\"<\/p>\n

To Remove the Subscribe Box<\/h3>\n

Go to Canvas > Subscribe and Connect > S&C Setup<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the top of the page untick<\/strong> “Enable Subscribe & Connect – Single Post”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
