Removing Author name

Question

I want to remove the author name from every post. O am using a website in wordpress.org. and I'm using tweenty fourteen theme.

How to remove the author name?

Do I have to go to the Author template (author.php)?

And then will I edit here

    <?php
/**
 * The template for displaying Author archive pages
 *
 * @link http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Twenty_Fourteen
 * @since Twenty Fourteen 1.0
 */

get_header(); ?>

    <section id="primary" class="content-area">
        <div id="content" class="site-content" role="main">

            <?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

            <header class="archive-header">
                <h1 class="archive-title">
                    <?php
                        /*
                         * Queue the first post, that way we know what author
                         * we're dealing with (if that is the case).
                         *
                         * We reset this later so we can run the loop properly
                         * with a call to rewind_posts().
                         */
                        the_post();

                        printf( __( 'All posts by %s', 'twentyfourteen' ), get_the_author() );
                    ?>
                </h1>
                <?php if ( get_the_author_meta( 'description' ) ) : ?>
                <div class="author-description"><?php the_author_meta( 'description' ); ?></div>
                <?php endif; ?>
            </header><!-- .archive-header -->

            <?php
                    /*
                     * Since we called the_post() above, we need to rewind

                     * the loop properly, in full.
                     */
                    rewind_posts();

                    // Start the Loop.
                    while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

                        /*

                         */
                        get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );

                    endwhile;
                    // Previous/next page navigation.
                    twentyfourteen_paging_nav();

                else :
                    // If no content, include the "No posts found" template.
                    get_template_part( 'content', 'none' );

                endif;
            ?>

        </div><!-- #content -->
    </section><!-- #primary -->

<?php
get_sidebar( 'content' );

I don't want the author name mentioned in the picture

Answer 1

First you need to have a child theme.

Add this to your style.css of your child theme

.entry-meta .byline { display: none; }

This should remove only the author from the post.

Answer 2

First, rather than directly editing a template from the twentyfourteen theme, I'd recommend using a Child Theme. These are incredibly simple to implement and it means that your changes will be preserved should WP update the theme.

Now, assuming that you mean the Author name in a single post, the file that you need to edit is content.php. On lines 33-34, delete the following -

if ( 'post' == get_post_type() )
    twentyfourteen_posted_on();

Note - this will also remove the date, but you can easilly add that back in if you so choose.

Update

I've just noticed that the offending function is actually pluggable (I.e. you can overwrite it). If you still require the date, you can add this to your functions.php file (hopefully you're now using a Child Theme).

If you do this, you must ensure that the code above is still included in content.php -

function twentyfourteen_posted_on() {
    if ( is_sticky() && is_home() && ! is_paged() ) {
        echo '<span class="featured-post">' . __( 'Sticky', 'twentyfourteen' ) . '</span>';
    }

    // Set up and print post meta information.
    printf( '<span class="entry-date"><a href="%1$s" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="%2$s">%3$s</time></a></span>',
        esc_url( get_permalink() ),
        esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
        esc_html( get_the_date() )
    );
}
