Remove blog author name from posts

First tome using Perch blog - we do not need the author tag, shown here below the image.

How do I turn that off? Thanks

You can remove anything you don't want from your template - those are in your control.

Thank you Rachel. But which template should I edit? I see nothing in blog/post.html that looks like it contains author info.

You would edit whichever template you are using for output, by default it would be your post.html.

Details of how to edit blog templates can be found in the documentation https://docs.grabaperch.com/addons/blog/template-tags/

Hi James,

In the case of perch/templates/blog/post.html the part that shows the Author is here:

I guess I am using post.html, have not modified anything in the blog section, but as I I said I cannot find any reference to Author - so if you could help out we would really appreciate it.

Simon, thanks for that, but removing that section which I have done only removes the author name at the top of the post, not the large one at bottom of page.

If you add debug to your page, it will tell you exactly which templates you are using.

Hi Drew,

I'm trying to do the same thing as James, but can't find in which template the Author name (at the bottom of the post) is added. It doesn't appear to be in post.html. I've looked in all the templates that are in use (as flagged by debug) but can't find where it is being appended to the bottom of the main content of a blog post.

Hi Nick

please create your own thread including your Diagnostic Report, and relevant templates plus debug output.
