Authorbox change name to about the author

Hey,
The premium version has an option to change this but the free version does not. You would need to edit a child theme.

Hey,
I’m not sure we are on the same page. If you just want to change the display name for the author. You can go into the profile in the wordpress admin. You don’t need the premium theme for that. Have you tried the display name?

Changing the display name would change it in the comments section as well, wouldn’t it?

I actually want to replace the name in the author box with a simple text that says ‘About the Author’ (no link).

A link is added if you have a web link in the profile settings. Are you talking about that link?

If you have a look at the author box here https://www.travelersuniverse.com/how-to-become-a-successful-freelancer you will see first it says in bold ‘Laura’ and then the bio starts with ‘Laura is the founder of Travelers Universe…’. I’m talking about replacing ‘Laura’ (the first occurrence) with ‘About the Author’ so it has more logic and not repeat the name twice.

Ok, So what you place in the bio isn’t controlled but there isn’t a way to turn off the author name and change it with something else. You can hide it with css like this:

.author-profile .author-name {
  display: none;
}

But you can go into the profile settings and give your profile a “occupation” That you can make say whatever you want and that would appear right below the name so if you hide the name that should get what you want.
