    Hello, hope everyone is doing well.

    I wish I could post a picture here, but I have a question regarding when sending my link through discord. I send them my website, http://www.example.com and then the box pops up showing a quick image of the website, a description, etc.

    Mine shows my username in it, even though I have a secure password. It is like this:

    https://example.com/
    (Name of website)
    (Clickable username to: https://example.com/author/username/) **
    (Description of the website that you can give it)
    (Quick little snippet picture of an image on the website)

    Where there’s a **, that’s the line I want to delete.
    I’m not too sure where to do this. Any suggestions? Thank you!

    Try:
    – If you have access to your Dashboard’s Plugins page, try deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
    – switching to the unedited default Theme (Twenty Nineteen, etc.) for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

    If you can install plugins, install “Health Check”: https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/ On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, without affecting normal visitors to your site.
