  • Hello @plittlefield! If you want to remove the author tag, use the following snippet:
    add_filter( 'slim_seo_linkedin_author', '__return_empty_string' );

    Thanks! It does mean I have to install another plugin to do snippets ?? it’s a shame there is no toggle (like the Twitter and rel ones) to turn off LinkedIn meta data!

    You don’t need to install an additional plugin. Just add this code snippet to your theme’s functions.php file and everything will work.
