    I use several of the Studio Press themes and am wondering how I stop showing who the author is for each post. I work for several people and do posting behind the scenes. I would like to remain anonymous.

    Off the top of my head ... and since you would like to remain anonymous:

    Firstly, check the Exclude user from Author-sitemap box, which you get to via the Users option.

    Secondly, add the following code to your functions.php file:

    remove_action('genesis_after_entry', 'genesis_do_author_box_single', 8);
    

    Thirdly, click here to see how to modify the genesis_post_info filter ... and make sure the [post_author_posts_link] or [post_author] shortcode is not present.

    Fourthly, if you use something like Yoast's WordPress SEO plugin, you'll probably want to check the Disable author/user sitemap box.

    Alternatively ... use a fake name 🙂
