    Hello @toby1kenobi

    Thanks for reaching out.

    The presenter that corresponds to the <meta name="author" content=""> tag is Meta_Author_Presenter while the filter is wpseo_meta_author. This filter demonstrates removing the Canonical_Presenter using the wpseo_canonical filter. You can use the same code snippet while replacing it with the appropriate presenter and filter.

    Thanks, I managed to suppress the author meta like this:

    add_filter( 'wpseo_meta_author', '__return_false' );

    It still outputs the author name like this:

    <meta name="twitter:label1" content="Written by" /> <meta name="twitter:data1" content="Toby 1" />

    and in the JSON schema. It would be good if there was a way of just disabling all this author meta data.
