Adjust author name in Blogs and Blogpost

[Thetraveladdict]

Hi,

I would like to adjust my author name in my blogs. I'm aware that this can be done by changing my name in the settings or by adding extra staff. However, I'm looking for a solution that involves coding.

I prefer not to edit the theme code, as this might cause issues with future theme updates. Perhaps there's a possibility to make these changes via the "Custom CSS" settings or Metafields, though I'm not entirely sure what options might be available.

Anyone can help me with this?

Hello @Thetraveladdict 

Yes, you are thinking correctly!

If you don't want to directly edit the theme code, Metafields are a very good option.

You can do this:

Go to Shopify Admin → Settings → Custom Data → Select Blogs or Articles.

Create a new Metafield, for example, "Custom Author Name".

Then, in your blog article template (or through a customization), set it up to check:

if a Metafield value exists, display that as the author name — otherwise, show the default author.

Hi @Thetraveladdict,

Please go to Customize > Theme settings > Custom CSS and add code:

.article-template__title+.caption-with-letter-spacing span {
    display: none;
}
.article-template__title+.caption-with-letter-spacing:after {
    content: 'Rogillo';
}

You can change the content yourself

Hi @namphan  Thanks for your solution. Can give me more input? Maybe show it with some printscreen? On which page do i need to change it? On the main page i'm getting an error message the code cannot be saved. So it seems like there is an error in it

Hi @namphan 

It's working, however when i try to save the CSS i get an error message and it's not possible to save it. So i assume something is not 100% correct in the code

Hi @Thetraveladdict,

Can you reload the page and save it? I'm not sure about the notice, it's not in English

Hi @namphan,

Still not possible....the error message is saying: Webshop editing session cannot be published
