If you have a generic (e.g. Corporate Communications) account, you can associate the post with that author without logging in using that account. It will work in the web part as well. However, it doesn’t work for News Links, where there is no way to associate the post with a different author.

Hi all, apart from the new possibilities on hiding information in the news webpart, what about hiding the author information in the news page you're getting when you click on "Show All"?

Anyone was able to do that?

Thomas Alessandri Where you able to hide the author from the News Page you get after clicking on the Show All link of a web part? I'm looking for the same feature.

    Susan_Hanley Do you know if anyone has determined a way to hide the author on the See All page for news stories? It seems to me that the See All page should respect the settings that you choose when you configure the web part.
