 * Please navigate to Tutor LMS > Settings > Course. From this page you can hide
   any information you want.

 * [@nendara](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nendara/) Had same issue.
 * What I did to fix it:
    – find the php file in the template folder in the tutor
   plugin (through plugin editor or ftp) – remember the folders it was in (for example/
   templates/dashboard/quiz-attempts/ for quiz-reviews.php) – in your theme folder,
   create a folder called “tutor” – in there you recreate the folders you found 
   that php file in, except “templates” (in the example you’ll create /your-theme-
   name/tutor/dashboard/quiz-attempts/) – copy the php file (in the example quiz-
   reviews.php) in there
 * In WordPress, go to theme editor, edit the php file, remove the author part, 
   and save.
 * If the folder creation was done correctly, the author won’t be showing up anymore
   as the plugin now uses that php file instead of the one within the plugin.
 * If something goes wrong on that page, due to bad php lines, you can simply fix
   it there or delete the new file if you really can’t find it.

 * [@tlouwet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tlouwet/) ¿Which exact file is
   the one that i should move to the theme part? I`ve tried moving from tutor to
   my theme the instructors.php and instructors_List.php :
 * `/public_html/wp-content/themes/edumax/tutor/single/course/instructors.php` and
   it didn`t worked

 * [@nendara](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nendara/) depends on which page
   you want to hide the author on.
    I’m not fully aware where each is loaded from.
 * For example, you can find
    `<p> <a href="<?php echo tutor_utils()->profile_url(
   $authordata->ID); ?>"><?php echo get_the_author(); ?></a> </p>` in tutor/loop/
   course-author.php
 * In the template part of the plugin, you could remove it there, see if it removes
   what you wanted to remove. If it didn’t CTRL+Z to set it back to how it was if
   it wasn’t the change you wanted to do.
    The moment you find the php file that
   did it for you, copy it over to the theme as you did before.
 * I copied over as good as the whole template folder over, have made quite a few
   adjustments, so it’s hard for me to pinpoint which change I did where for what
   reason. Sadly all I can do is point you in the right direction.
