Hi @webenter,
Following below steps to solve your ideas:
First step: Copy the default.php file from the "ja_essence/html/com_content/article/" folder to "ja_essence/local/html/com_content/article/" folder.
- Delete below code section to remove the author block.
<section class="section-author type-default">
<?php echo $this->item->event->afterDisplayContent; ?>
</section>
- Modify below code to modify the social media icons and links (Open the JA Social Share plugin to configure the button style).
<div class="share-social">
<div class="title-txt">
<h6><?php echo Text::_('TPL_SHARE_ARTICLE'); ?></h6>
</div>
<div class="ja-share-button" services="facebook,twitter,linkedin" layout="default" ></div>
</div>
