Hi @lisaksocial
Thanks for reaching out!
The author name isn’t coming from Sugar Calendar, our event pages don’t output an author byline at all. Events are stored as their own content type, and the edit screen doesn’t include an Author meta box, which is why the option isn’t showing up for you.
What’s most likely happening is that your theme is rendering that byline. Many themes fall back to their standard single-post layout (author, date, categories, etc.) for any content type they don’t have a dedicated template for. So the place to change or remove it would be your theme’s template or its display settings rather than anything on the Sugar Calendar side, your theme’s support team should be able to point you to the right toggle.
One thing I wanted to flag: I opened the link you shared and it doesn’t load an event on my end. Could you confirm the exact URL where you’re seeing the author name? A quick screenshot with the byline visible would help too, so I can tell you exactly which part of the theme is generating it.
Happy to keep digging once I have that.
Best,
I have reactivated the Sugar Calendar plugin so the event page is visible again.
I updated the theme’s settings to not display the meta data for blog posts. As you can see on this blog post, no author or date is being displayed: https://belovelongmont.org/lk-redesign/building-homes-building-community-women-build-day-with-habitat-for-humanity/
But the Sugar Calendar is still displaying the author & date: https://belovelongmont.org/lk-redesign/events/community-talk-beloved-community-housing-discussions/

I also tried targeting the sc_event class, but this did not work either.
.sc_event .entry-meta {
display: none !important;
}

Hi @lisaksocial
Thanks for reactivating the plugin and for testing both post types, that comparison made this much easier to pin down.
I looked at both URLs. On the event page, the byline reads “By lisakdm / August 5, 2026,” and that author name links out to /author/lisakdm/, which is a standard WordPress author archive. That’s your theme’s post-meta markup, not Sugar Calendar, we don’t output an author or date byline anywhere on the event template.
Here’s why your blog setting didn’t carry over: that control is scoped to the Posts post type only. Events are a separate post type, so they don’t inherit it. When a theme doesn’t have a dedicated template for a custom post type, it falls back to its default single-post layout, meta and all, regardless of what you’ve set for the blog.
So there are two routes:
1. Theme setting (best option). Most modern themes have a way to control meta per post type, or a conditional layout that can target event pages. Your theme’s support team can point you to it — that keeps the change in the theme’s own settings rather than layered CSS.
2. CSS. Your selector was on the right track, it just needs the class that’s actually on the page. Right-click the byline on the event page → Inspect, and l was able to isolate this element. If you wish, you can hide it using the following custom code:
div.entry-meta {
display: none !important;
}
Best,
