    When I hover over my byline (post author link) it reads “Visit Angel Thompson’s Website.” I want to change this text. Does anyone know how?

    Thanks for helping

    It looks like the title text for the author link is set as "Visit Angel Thompson's Website." I don't typically use Prose, but I don't think there are any settings related to post meta that should be affecting that link.... Did you use a plugin (maybe Simple Edits) to change the link to go to your About page instead of your author page?

    Thanks for responding, Andrea.

    You are right, I was using Simple Edits to make my author link go to my About page. I removed the link. But I really didn't want to.

    Do you know how I change the title text for the link?

    You don't necessarily need to remove the link, but depending on how you had it configured, we can probably change it so the title will be correct. Can you paste in what you had in Simple Edits before you removed the link?

    Thanks for the reply, Andrea, but I've decided to do without the link.
