Filtering itemprops with double colons

    I’ve tried following the instructions to filter out the inclusion of author or usernames (I understand that Google likes to know the ‘author’ but it’s a huge security risk to include “user” names) but it doesn’t work for article:author:username which includes not one but TWO colons.

    Can you please include more filter examples so I can understand how to filter out metadata properly? We REALLY DO NOT WANT any author or user names added to meta tags.

    I know you take pride in creating a plugin that needs no configuration, and truly it is a great lightweight plugin, but at least a couple of configuration options so that people can opt out of certain metadata would be very welcomed by those who struggle with adding code. There are many valid reasons why some websites would not want to include (in the <head>) author/user information, a simple checkbox would be great.

    Hi @trisham

    I’m truly not sure about configuration ?? I have doubts to add it.

    Please add this code, to remove any author data

    add_filter( 'og_profile', '__return_false' );

    Double colons:

    <meta property="profile:username" content="Pietrzak :: Marcin" />

    I checked and it looks well. Could you give a example when it is shown wrong?

    Thank you very much @iworks (Marcin), removing all of it using ‘og_profile’ does indeed work, I was following instructions for the individual meta tags and didn’t realize I could remove all author instances with one line – awesome! Thanks!
