How to remove the author and date of creation details from an article?

Question

Hi all Am creating a sample website using Joomla. I am just a beginner. How to hide the author details and date of creation from an article published?

Answer 1

While creating the article on the right side panel you will see Parameters(Advanced) there all the parameters will be set to Use Global by default change the your requirements to Hide.

This also can be handled from the editing of the article.

Answer 2

In addition to srinivas answer, depending on how you set your site up, you might find the parameters under the Menu Item you have setup for the section/category/article. For instance, if you have a menu item pointing to a category/blog, you'll see the params in there.

Answer 3

Additionally, the author will be shown by default in a meta-tag - invisible to normal users, but visible to search engines and everybody with a bit of HTML knowledge.

To hide the author's name completely, go to Global Configuration > Show Author Meta Tag : No

(A not-yet-mentioned third place where you could hide the author name: Article Manager > Parameters. Actually, that's where I'd do it if I wanted to set it for all the articles: I could still activate it per article or menu item, but by default, it will fall through to Hide.)
