    Hi,

    I'd like to remove the 'Author' link from single posts on pages like this:
    http://goo.gl/9I8WJ

    In Thematic/library/extensions/content-extensions.php on line 721 I found where this is concatenated but I don't want to have to mess with the core file.

    I created the same folder structure in my theme, copied over the content-extensions.php file and made my changes there but this did not work.

    Is there something I am missing here? Is this the right route to go?

    Many thanks

    If you place a childtheme_override in your functions file you can achieve this. So taking the code in content-extensions.php make the adjustments you wish. 

    function childtheme_override_postmeta_authorlink() {

	    global $authordata;
if(is_single()){
//removed all the code here for the authordata
}
else {

	    $authorlink = '<span class="meta-prep meta-prep-author">' . __('By ', 'thematic') . '</span>';
	    $authorlink .= '<span class="author vcard">'. '<a class="url fn n" href="';
	    $authorlink .= get_author_posts_url($authordata->ID, $authordata->user_nicename);
	    $authorlink .= '" title="' . __('View all posts by ', 'thematic') . get_the_author_meta( 'display_name' ) . '">';
	    $authorlink .= get_the_author_meta( 'display_name' );
	    $authorlink .= '</a></span>';
}
	    return apply_filters('thematic_post_meta_authorlink', $authorlink);

}

    All that will remain is the separator bar before 'published'. Can remove this with css or make another childtheme override, this time: childtheme_override_postheader_postmeta

    Hope that solves it.

    function childtheme_override_postmeta_authorlink() {

global $authordata;
if(is_single()){
$authorlink = '<span class="meta-prep meta-prep-author">' . __('By ', 'thematic') . '</span>';
$authorlink .= '<span class="author vcard">'. get_the_author_meta( 'display_name' ) . '</span>';
}
else {

$authorlink = '<span class="meta-prep meta-prep-author">' . __('By ', 'thematic') . '</span>';
$authorlink .= '<span class="author vcard">'. '<a class="url fn n" href="';
$authorlink .= get_author_posts_url($authordata->ID, $authordata->user_nicename);
$authorlink .= '" title="' . __('View all posts by ', 'thematic') . get_the_author_meta( 'display_name' ) . '">';
$authorlink .= get_the_author_meta( 'display_name' );
$authorlink .= '</a></span>';
}
return apply_filters('thematic_post_meta_authorlink', $authorlink);

}

    you can also filter in this instance too (for reference) :

    function kia_change_authorlink($authorlink){
 global $authordata;
 if(is_single()){
   $authorlink = '<span class="meta-prep meta-prep-author">' . __('By ', 'thematic') . '</span>';
   $authorlink .= '<span class="author vcard">'. get_the_author_meta( 'display_name' ) . '</span>';
 }
 return $authorlink;
}
add_filter('thematic_post_meta_authorlink','kia_change_authorlink');

    btw- please wrap code in backtick marks
