Using Hook to Remove Author Meta

I can’t seem to figure out how to remove the “Written by AUTHOR” text via a hook in the functions.php file. Can anyone lend a hand with this (NOT with CSS, but with hooks only please.)?

You can use a childtheme override function, for the author meta, the following function will work:

function childtheme_override_postmeta_authorlink() {
  //custom code
}

Here’s the original code for reference:

function cleanyetibasic_postmeta_authorlink() {
		global $authordata;

	    $author_prep = '<span class="meta-prep meta-prep-author">' . __('By', 'cleanyetibasic') . ' </span>';

	    if ( cleanyetibasic_is_custom_post_type() && !current_theme_supports( 'cleanyetibasic_support_post_type_author_link' ) ) {
	    	$author_info  = '<span class="vcard"><span class="fn nickname">';
	    	$author_info .= get_the_author_meta( 'display_name' ) ;
	    	$author_info .= '</span></span>';
	    } else {
	    	$author_info  = '<span class="author vcard">';
	    	$author_info .= sprintf('<a class="url fn n" href="%s" title="%s">%s</a>',
	    							get_author_posts_url( $authordata->ID, $authordata->user_nicename ),
									/* translators: author name */
	    							sprintf( esc_attr__( 'View all posts by %s', 'cleanyetibasic' ), get_the_author_meta( 'display_name' ) ),
	    							get_the_author_meta( 'display_name' ));
	    	$author_info .= '</span>';
	    }

	    $author_credit = $author_prep . $author_info ;

	    return apply_filters('cleanyetibasic_postmeta_authorlink', $author_credit);

	}
