Hi Daniel,
Unfortunately there is no setting that can be used to turn off the link in avatar or author name. However, you can still achieve this by doing a custom css override.
You can create a custom.css file here:
JoomlaFolder\templates\yourCurrentTemplate\html\com_easyblog\styles\custom.css
Then apply the code below into that file:
div#fd.eb .eb-entry-author .eb-author-name.reset-heading a {
pointer-events: none !important;
}
div#fd.eb .eb-entry-author-bio .eb-entry-author-avatar {
pointer-events: none !important;
}
-if it doesn't work after applying the codes, temporarily disable the plugin jchoptimize
-clear cache from backend
-refresh your webpage
-enable back jchoptimize
-then check your articles again
After you have done all these steps, you author's avatar and name below the article shouldn't be linked to the blogger's page anymore.
FYI, this falls under customization and we normally do not accommodate such request as it is beyond our support scope's policy as outlined in
http://stackideas.com/support
Having said that, if you require us to perform anymore customizations, you can always request for a quote from us at
https://crm.stackideas.com and select "Customizations". Our sales person would be glad to send you a quote for the customization that you have requested.
