Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention.
The author is a required part of the article schema which is usually taken from the settings of the user who publishes the post. The URL you shared is a blog page whose schema is generated from the posts on the blog.
You can check out these google document on structured data types: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/article
However, if you wish to proceed with removing the author, you may need to use a filter to remove the author schema. Please refer to the code below and insert it into your theme’s functions.php file:
/**
* Filter to change the schema data.
* Replace $schema_type with schema name like article, review, etc.
*
* @param array $entity Snippet Data
*
* @return array
*/
add_filter( "rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_{$schema_type}_entity", function ( $entity ) {
if ( isset( $entity['author'] ) ) {
unset( $entity['author'] );
return $entity;
}
return $entity;
} );
Please note you need to change the {$schema_type} to the object type you wish to modify.
If you require any further assistance don’t hesitate to get in touch. Thanks
Sorry, how to find the object type?
i did it like this but didn’t work
/**
* 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 $entity;
} );
Hello,
Please replace the {$schema_type} to article to make it work. The filter should look like this:
add_filter( "rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_article_entity", function ( $entity ) {
if ( isset( $entity['author'] ) ) {
unset( $entity['author'] );
return $entity;
}
return $entity;
});
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
