Mark Ratledge on "Remove author from Feed"

How do I remove the author from appearing in my rss feed?

Very well explained on [link moderated Forum Rules.

Please mark this thread as resolved.

@Dipak: that's bad practice to change WP core files.

@wiziwiz: Google shows this soultion: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/47726/remove-or-edit-dccreator-in-feeds/64758#64758

yes i saw this but does not really resolve it,

the last post on this forum says

Just hook the_author filter and check is_feed if you want a RSS specific author.

function f_the_author( $display_name ) { // $display_name === string $authordata->display_name if ( is_feed() ) { retu 'Static Feed Author Display Name Here'; } retu "Static Author Display Name";
}
add_filter( 'the_author', 'f_the_author', PHP_INT_MAX, 1 );

this makes no sense to me so where is the correct way?

It will work; but you're using the wrong answer. Read and use the answer with the green checkmark; that is the correct answer. StackExchange is not organized like these forums; the correct answers are checked and upvoted.
