I’m trying to disable the post meta author link, via custom css, but I’m not able to do…
I try with the following code, but it’s not the right one:

.post_meta .author a {
    pointer-events: none;
       cursor: default;
}

Please, may you help me?
Thank you

You want to just disable the link (remove the Anchor tag)?
I would go in the template and remove the anchor tag that wraps around the Author name in your index.php, single.php etc templates.

Basically you would replace:

<a href="<?php echo get_author_posts_url(get_the_author_meta('ID' )); ?>"><?php echo __('By ','Aqua');?> <?php the_author_meta('display_name'); ?></a>

with

<?php echo __('By ','Aqua');?> <?php the_author_meta('display_name'); ?>

:)

I have another question, please: how can I styling the input placeholder text?

Maybe I have to open a new ticket for a new question… In this case I apologize for my mistake.
Thanks

I’m using FS Contact Form Plugin (not Contact Form 7), but I don’t understand where the syle of placeholder comes from…
It doesn’t seems to be that I have to edit nor the plugin, neither Aqua theme.
The page is http://www.guidedolomiti.com/contatti
Thank you
