Hello,
As standard practice, whenever I build a WordPress site I use a different public/nickname than the actual username. Additionally, using Enfold’s Blog Layout I hide the author name “Blog meta elements” and also go the extra paranoid step of using CSS to hide the author name class. So when I viewed the source of a page I was dismayed to see that the actual username (not the public or nice name) is still clearly visible (assuming from the the_author_link() function). I use login limiters, but still – I don’t want ANYONE to know what the actual usernames are via the front-end of the website.
In what template file and where can I nuke the author name so I no longer have to worry about the attempted break-ins to my site?
Hey!
Look for this lines in includes/loop-index.php:
echo '<span class="entry-author-link" '.avia_markup_helper(array('context' => 'author_name','echo'=>false)).'>'; echo '<span class="vcard author"><span class="fn">'; the_author_posts_link(); echo '</span></span>'; echo '</span>'; echo '</span>';Cheers!
Josue
