    Hello guys,

    I have remove the author archive pages from my website using Yoast.

    I want to keep the author name on my article pages. Nevertheless, on those pages, the author name is still clickable, and you will be redirected to the homepage if you click.

    So, I would like to know how to keep the author name displayed but not make it clickable ?

    Cheers !

    Hello Divi Team,

    Thank you for the tips. Unfortunately, the only thing it does is "disabling" the pointer on the author name. Nevertheless, in the source code, the href balise is still there which is not good from a SEO perspective.

    What should I do to get rid of it ?

    Hello guys,

    Thank you! So, I changed it a bit otherwise it was looping on loading the page.

    jQuery is only used to modify what the visitors see.

    If you really want to remove it from the source code as well, then try the below code at your child theme functions.php:
