Meta data – author names & time to read

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing. Currently, the context does not provide specific instructions on how to completely remove author information and time to read from the meta details of all pages/posts on your website.

However, you can typically achieve this by modifying your theme’s template files or using custom code snippets. If you need detailed guidance on this, we recommend replying to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will be able to assist you further.

Thank you for raising this concern!

Hello,

In that case, you can use and customize this filter to remove the author data from the schema:

/**
 * 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.

Regarding the other metadata, you can disable the Slack Enhanced Sharing option from WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Titles & Meta > [Post Types].

After disabling that option please try to clear your website cache including any server-level cache. It should remove the estimated time and author name.

Hope that helps.
