Can't remove author vcard

    I’ve tried using CSS to “display:none” for the author vcard, and have also found the “sprintf” reference to outputting the author vcard name and e-mail address in the inc/template-tags.php file and tried both commenting out the output and replacing it with a generic name, but it still keeps showing up. Any suggestions? I find that when the author name is output, it gives hackers the user name to try to login and it also sets me up for spam, since the e-mail address is there.

    I found a workaround, not sure if this will cause me any troubles down the line: I edited template-tags.php again, taking out the link and replacing the author with my site’s name, and then saved as template-tags2.php and uploaded to the theme’s “inc/” folder (not the child theme). Then I had to edit functions.php and have it call template-tags2.php instead of the original.

    It works, it just seems like a LOT of trouble to stop the author name and e-mail to be output.
