As an advanced publishing tool, WordPress typically defaults to displaying information about the author behind a given post or page on a WordPress site. But sometimes you want to build a website that has a more "singular" editorial identity, and that doesn't appear to be authored and managed by multiple people, even if it is. I see this regularly with corporate brands, political organizations, larger not-for-profits, and advocacy groups where the identity of a post or page's author could distract from the content being shared.
So how do you keep WordPress from revealing the author information - names, usernames and more - for the administrative users of your site? Here are a few tips, aimed at WordPress developers comfortable customizing their sites through changing the theme and plugin code.
