Hide quotation marks on posts by "author" on breadcrumbs

[Hudsonpilot]

Can you help me remove the quotation marks around the posts by “author” on the breadcrumbs?

As in Posts by “Prof”: https://www.food280.com/author/admin/

I’d like it to read simply Posts by Prof

site: https://www.food280.com

X version: 6.5.6

wordpress version: 5.2.3

If this can’t be done via CSS, I can work on a child theme.

Thanks for your help.

Hello Steve,

Thanks for writing in!

Because what you are trying to accomplish requires a template customization, we would highly to suggest that you use a child theme. This allows you to make code changes that won’t be overwritten when an X update is released.

After the child theme is set up, please add the following code in your child theme’s functions.php file

// Remove Author Quotes
// =============================================================================
function remove_author_quotes($crumbs, $args){

    $crumbs[1] = array(
        'type'  => 'author',
        'url'   => get_author_posts_url( $author ),
        'label' => __( 'Posts by ', '__x__' ) . '' . get_the_author() . '',
    );
   
   
   return $crumbs;
}
add_filter('x_breadcrumbs_data', 'remove_author_quotes', 10, 2);
// =============================================================================

We would love to know if this has worked for you. Thank you.

That worked perfectly. Thanks very much!
