Author name – RSS Feed

  • Have used the below code in the child theme’s functions.php to disable author name in WordPress feeds. After running the same scan couple of times produces varying results that reveal the author name and that don’t. How can I ensure author name is disabled and/or not revealed?

    function disable_rss_author( $display_name ) {
    if ( is_feed() ) {
        return '';
    }
    return $display_name;
}
add_filter( 'the_author', 'disable_rss_author');

    try this by setting priority for add_filter function:

    function disable_rss_author( $display_name ) {
    if ( is_feed() ) {
        return '';
    }
    return $display_name;
}
add_filter( 'the_author', 'disable_rss_author',40);

    Thank you for your reply.

    Tried the priority setting but the author name is displaying in the very first scan.

    Previously I tried priority at 1, but as mentioned there were mixed results. 99999 priority also revealed the username.
