If you're talking about Wordpress, should be in your theme's files. Typically this would be in the single.php, index.php, etc. files depending on the setup of your blog.

But like the previous poster said, I don't know if you PMed him or not, but we'd need to see your site to see where your author links are presented to give you a better answer.

But to start, look in your theme's files.

Good advice but be aware that if/when you next update the theme (which may be soon or may be never, it depends) then the changes you make will vanish unless you've made them as part of a child theme.

make sure you do the changes in a child theme, if you edit your main themes files and there is an update then your work will be lost. Always use a child theme when making code or css changes to wordpress never change theme code directly.

i couldn't find what to change. hope someone can help me
here's my single.php file

Replace the_author_posts_link(); with get_the_author();

download notepad++ which is free and drag that file into it and look for line 216. Or you can do the same and use the search box, type in the line you need then hit search and notepad++ will show you the line you need. Then replace it and save. Upload to your child theme folder and you are good to go. Do not change core code as when there is a new update you will lose it. If you don't want to to do that i have just done it for you.
