Remove the author’s name from blog posts

Remove the author's name

To remove the blog author's name, you will need to edit the Liquid in your blog.liquid and your article-template.liquid templates. If you are using Boundless, you will need to edit the Liquid in your blog.liquid and article.liquid templates.

Steps:

  1. From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
  2. Find the theme you want to edit, click the button to open the actions menu, and then click Edit code.
  3. In the Templates folder, click blog.liquid.
  4. Use ctrl + F on a PC or command + F on a Mac to locate this Liquid tag and delete it:
{{ article.author }}

For Simple and Supply, the author and date share the same liquid tag. To remove both, use ctrl + F on a PC or command + F on a Mac to locate this Liquid tag and delete it:

{{ 'blogs.article.author_on_date_html' | t: author: author, date: date }}

If you want to keep only the date, then replace the code above with:

{{ date }}
  1. Click Save.
  2. In the Sections folder, click article-template.liquid. For Boundless, in the Templates folder, click article.liquid.
  3. Use ctrl + F on a PC or command + F on a Mac to locate this Liquid tag and delete it:
{{ article.author }}

For Simple and Supply, the article author and article date share the same liquid tag. To remove both, use ctrl + F on a PC or command + F on a Mac to locate this Liquid tag and delete it:

{{ 'blogs.article.author_on_date_html' | t: author: author, date: date }}

If you want to keep only the date, then replace the code above with:

{{ date }}
