Is there a way to disable the "posted by" tag when posting new content? I have grazed through the documentation, the Drupal interface and the online forums to no avail.

I am creating a educational website that does not need the "posted by" criteria. It needs to look as "blog-less" as possible.

Many thanks,

Kevin

It's in the global theme configuration. admin/build/themes/settings on a 5.X site.

You may configure it per content type, so that pages and categories don't have it, but stories do, for example.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response.

Unfortunately, my current version is Drupal 4.7.6. I can get to the path admin/themes/settings; however, there is no build directory (and no option to change the posted by option) . . .

Hi Kevinito,

Go to: admin/build/themes/settings

There you can set whether the post information displays granulated per content-type. You can granulate that information as fine as you want you with custom code. But the by-content-type seems to work for most people.

And yes, it is not so intuitive that this shows up as a theme configuration. Drupal is so powerful and fliexible that the the configuration aspects can sometimes become a bit overwhelming.

Good luck,

Shai

I have tried to turn off "posted by" in both the global theme config and specific theme config, and also by resetting the specific theme's config to global defaults, yet the "posted by" data remains. I am using Drupal 6.3 and the 6.x Foliage theme, but this problem also occurs with other themes. Suggestions appreciated. TIA

Aha, turns out this was just in image posts, and I found that the post info setting for images is in a rather non-standard place, namely, admin/settings/image/image_gallery.

Problem solved
