Ever wanted to force the author name in your rss2 feed supplied to FeedBurner? The group blog I’m building gives authors anonymity, and that’s pretty easy to do on the site itself. But after a few test posts I noticed that the author name stilled showed up on the FeedBurner feed, which is actually read from the rss2 feed I’m creating on the site.
How to change this?
Open up the feed-rss2.php file located in the wp-includes directory of your WordPress installation and look for the line
<dc:creator><?php the_author() ?></dc:creator>
Remove the php code and insert whatever you’d like to use for the author tag. WARNING: When you upgrade WordPress this file will be overwritten, so you’ll have to go back in and change it again. I got caught on that one upgrading from WordPress 2.5 to 2.51
