k2 indexing k2 user on Google was created by Patrick Valmont

Hello K2 friends, hope you are well.

I noticed that on one of my websites using K2, K2 is sending user info to google. Meaning, if I search the user name ( the Joomla user) on google I get all the articles posted by this user. Including images etc. Is there a way to disable the feature ? I've tried looking in the configuration of k2 but no avail.

Thanks to advise.

Isn't K2's SEO awesome? :)

This is actually coming from K2's Structured Data. You can disable them in K2's Settings (SEO tab).

Locate any rel="author" HTML attribute in your K2 template overrides (or override K2 if you haven't already and then remove that code). This is what correlates a given user to their items and what Google indexes.

Hellooooo Fotis,

Think I found the entry in "item.php" which was indeed an override in my template. (hope it does not break anything haha)

Thanks for this. Will check other files as well if they contain same.

Cheers buddy!
