Hello, i have the same issues which another user states here: community.getk2.org/forum/topics/remove-author-link

I want to remove the link from the author's name or if possible i want to change that link with the website that author used to his K2 profile.

Unfortunately the solution he finds seems that it doesn't work on this version of K2, can you help me with that?

do i ask too much? anyone that can help me with that?

Hi Hope I can still help...

For K2 v2.5.7 You've got to hack the item.php file located at root/components/com_k2/templates/default/index.php

On line 73 replace

<a rel="author" href=:<?php echo $this->item->author->link; ?>"><?php echo $this->item->author->name; ?></a>

wtith

<a rel="author" href="#"><?php echo $this->item->author->name; ?></a>

save the file, reload the page on your browser, and whalah!

Thanks for your commitment. Just wanted to tell that you do not need to hack the file. You can make a template override for this, since it's a layout file. You can get information on K2 templating and overrides at getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/item/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates

Is this process of the template override still valid? This post was almost two years ago and I wanted to make doing this was correct.

thank you

The lines might not be correct but the overall procedure is correct.
Furthermore I would completely remove the link.

The resulting code should look like this:
