 * Hi,
 * add this snippet to your functions.php:
 * [https://www.seopress.org/support/hooks/filter-author-meta-name/](https://www.seopress.org/support/hooks/filter-author-meta-name/)
 * And change the code to return nothing (return false).

 * As you don’t have a functions.php file with Oxygen, you can use a must-use plugin.
 * Go to wp-content/mu-plugins directory using a FTP client.
 * If this directory doesn’t exist, add it.
 * Then create a new file and paste this code:
 *     ```
       <?php
       /*

       */
   
       // To prevent calling the plugin directly
       if ( !function_exists( 'add_action' ) ) {
       	echo 'Please don&rsquo;t call the plugin directly. Thanks :)';
       	exit;
       }
   
       //Remove author meta
       function sp_titles_author($html) {
       	return false;
       }
       add_filter('seopress_titles_author', 'sp_titles_author');
       ```

 * Awesome, another question before i go, i came from Rank Math and was observing
   the schema, they use
 *     ```

 * well yeah, you are right it doesn’t appear as Feature Guides but appears inside
   article, kind of weird isn’t it?

 * Rank uses all of this by default:

               }
           ]
       }</script>
       ```
   
 * and i think this is my last question: why you use
 *     ```
       <meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />
       <meta name="googlebot" content="index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1" />
       <meta name="bingbot" content="index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1" />
       ```
   
 * instead of
    `<meta name="robots" content="follow, index, max-snippet:-1, max-
   video-preview:-1, max-image-preview:large"/>`

 * well you are right, this is my last question i promise, why you use:
    <meta name
   =”robots” content=”index, follow” /> <meta name=”googlebot” content=”index, follow,
   max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1″ /> <meta name=”
   bingbot” content=”index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-
   video-preview:-1″ />
 * instead of
 * <meta name=”robots” content=”follow, index, max-snippet:-1, max-video-preview:-
   1, max-image-preview:large”/> ?

 * This allows to be more precise according to the search engines.
    However, search
   engines are increasingly standardizing their ways of doing things, so it’s not
   impossible that we are simplifying that as well.
