What is missing to hide author from being viewed?

[Rob Sestito]

Hey SN Comm Team,

I am having a little trouble hiding the name of the author for our articles on the portal page. Specifically the widgets.

I have gone through the knowledge portal page, widget(s) being used, portal instance, page designer, widget editor, anything I can think of to add the following into the CSS:

.author {
  display:none !important;
}

Since the OOTB Widgets for Most Useful and Most Viewed are read only policy, I cloned both and added in the CSS you see above.

The Knowledge Portal has the CSS added, Knowledge Page (kb_home/kn_article_view/kb_article) all have the CSS added, but the author is still showing on the widget itself. Everywhere else, the CSS is working for me.

Can someone lend a hand and let me know what I could be missing?

Cheers,

-Rob

Hey Jake,

From the knowledge portal page, specifically the widgets (as mentioned in original post) - I cannot seem to hide the author name.

From the Knowledge Page Search results: (which also has the CSS added)

However, with the CSS I showed above, It is working in the other places for me:

In the actual article view

My search from the HR home page

Portal Instances, Page Instance, all have the CSS added to it as well.

Hope this helps - let me know if you need more.

Cheers, 

-Rob

Hi Rob,

On the server scripts you have the fields being pushed in here:

Line 59 to be precise. 

Removing the fields you don't want should stop it being displayed.

Thanks

Hey Jake,

Thank you very much! I thought the CSS would cover it like it has for everything else.

Good to know the Server Script also needs the modification.

Thank you again,
