Reply To: Hiding Author Box

I’d love to have the “Last modified” date instead of “Published” and leave out the author.

You will need to copy the content-single.php file into your child theme and then look for this:

Then change it to this:

On the line of code, make sure you change the “Published:” part to be “Modified”

As for removing the author from the post footer area, normally I would say do this custom CSS:

.meta-author {display: none;}

Or, with the copied content-single.php file in your child theme, you can remove this batch of code:

<?php printf( __( 'Articles by: %s', 'preferential' ), '' . get_the_author() . '' ); ?>
