Going Crazy. How do I turn off the Author Profile on a post?

  • I recently decided that the full-blown author profile that appears at the bottom of a post on our site (https://slascomment.com/entertainment/the-danish-girl/) is a bit unnecessary as anyone can click on the author name at the top of the post and get this info.

    However, for the life of me I can’t find a setting to turn this off and now can’t remember if it’s being produced by the theme, a plugin or a default WP setting. I’ve looked everywhere and come up empty. The theme’s settings doesn’t mention it and the theme demo doesn’t show it. No plugin appears to reference it.

    Anyone know where this is coming from and how to stop it from appearing in posts (but optimally still have it appear at the top of a search result when someone clicks on the author name at the top of a post?

    THANKS!

  • Have you tried viewing the source in your browser, grabbing a small snippet of the HTML, and searching the folder where your themes/plugins are installed? Many text editors will allow you to search files and folders for bits of text.

    Thanks Marios. I didn’t think it would be easy to do via FTP, but then realized I could just extract my theme (to start) and see if the key code appears there. It does.

    I then realized I could just do this in the custom CSS:

    (.hero-unit {
    display:none
    }

    The only problem is that it removes it from all elements. I’d actually like to keep it around for search results so that, if someone clicks an author name, they’ll see the profile along with the author’s other posts.
