    I’ve tried multiple CSS solutions and plugins but I cant seem to fix the problem of the “Published by %S that shows up on every post. Anyone know how to either remove it or present the actual author?

    Hello 🙂

    What did you try in the CSS?

    Does this work: 

    .post-author {
    display: none;
}
    geldner

    I have the same problem. I am the author yet WordPress displays “Published by %S” and not my name. How do I get this to work? Anna’s solution would probably just hide the author. I actually want the author name or nickname to show up.

    Thought – Could the theme be doing this? Using Sports Club Lite.

    EDIT – Yeah that’s the problem. The theme is doing something wonky.

    Yes I think it is something in your theme to. In my theme it works just fine. I use a standard theme from WordPress. I looked up the code for the author and this is it in my theme:

    <a class="url fn n" href="%3$s">%4$s</a>

    I don’t know your theme, but maybe it is missing the 4$ in the middle?

    In the template-tags.php I can change the code. I think it is a different file in you theme. If you have experience with FTP maybe you can try to search for:

    <div class="post-author"><i class="fas fa-user"></i>

    And try to change the code there. That is what I would try 😀

    Good luck!
