Change or delete Author URL in Genesis post info section

By default, author information is displayed at the end of post content on single post or article page. It shows author name with URL pointing to author profile URL (format like basicwp.com/author/admin). Few users may want to remove this author URL or show a different author URL (like that of different about page of the author). This can be easily implemented in Genesis WordPress theme framework.

Change author URL from post info section

Open funtions.php file section and add following code to modify author URL.

[cc]
/** Customize the post info function */
add_filter( ‘genesis_post_info’, ‘post_info_filter’ );
function post_info_filter($post_info) {
if (!is_page()) {
$post_info = ‘Posted on [post_date] Written by Editor [post_comments] [post_edit]’;
return $post_info;
}}
[/cc]

Above you can manually edit author name “Editor” and author URL “basicwp.com” as per your requirement.

Remove author URL linking from Genesis post info

If you only want to display author name without an active and click-able url to author profile, then add following code to functions.php file.

[cc]
/** Customize the post info function */
add_filter( ‘genesis_post_info’, ‘post_info_filter’ );
function post_info_filter($post_info) {
if (!is_page()) {
$post_info = ‘Posted on [post_date] Written by [post_author] [post_comments] [post_edit]’;
return $post_info;
}}
[/cc]

Above code removes hyperlinking of author name to its respective author profile URL. It simply display author name without click-able author profile url.
