Just go to Appearance -> Editor -> single.php and edit out the line. This should work with most Wordpress themes.

If you want to display the name but remove the link, use the following PHP code:

Hi,

Why exactly would this create duplicate content on your site? You could link the name of the author to an overview of all the author's articles or remove the link behind it.

It is also possible to completely remove it. Sometimes you'll find an option in your theme settings to switch this of, but usually you'll have to edit the PHP file that is used to display your post. Usually this is 'Single.php'

This is what you do:

• Go to Appearance > Editor

• Select the Single.php file on the right side

• In the code you will find something like:

'By ' This is the part that makes the name of the author show. Removing this line will prevent the author name from showing on your posts.

'' This is the part that shows the date of your post. You can remove this line too.

Install the All-in-One SEO plugin or similar, and just noindex the author pages.

that small snippet of text isn't likely to be the cause of your duplication issues in all honesty.
