I am trying to remove the author's name from a Knowledge Article. This is the view that an employee sees when a Knowledge Article is attached to their case and they open it.
I've tried a few things that I've seen on the Community, but none of them are working for me. I tried commenting out a section of the kb_view UI page (screenshot below). I also tried creating an ACL so that only admins would be able to read the knowledge article author (screenshot below).
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi Rylie,
You are very close to it. The message HTMl is lied on this UI Macro "kb_view_common_footer" on line "32". This variable is retrieved from the parent macro "kb_view"
Output:
Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.

Hi Rylie,
That can be done by commenting out from line 9

@Cuong Phan I found the UI Macro "kb_view_common_footer", but how do I need to edit it? Do I need to comment out lines?

@Cuong Phan only problem I'm having now is the author's picture is still showing. Can I remove that somehow?
