Exclude author from schema data

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

You need to go to Dashboard > Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Author > Author Archives > Disable that from there.

Then under Author Robots Meta, you need to select No Index and save the changes.

Hope that helps.

Thank you.

Hello,

The author data shown for your posts is directly generated from WordPress user profile settings. You can change your author editing username in WordPress dashboard > Profiles/Users

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Hello,

The author markup is required by Google for AMP Pages: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/article#article-types

If you completely don’t want this i your schema, you can add the following filter to your theme functions.php file:

/**
 * Filter to change the schema data.
 * Replace $schema_type with schema name like article, review, etc.
 * @param array $entity Snippet Data
 * @return array
 */
add_filter( "rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_article_entity", function( $entity ) {
if(isset($entity[author])){
 unset($entity[author]);
return $entity;
}
 return $entity;
});

You can then test your URL with Google Rich results test tool to see if the info has been removed under article schema.

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
