  I want to change the word “by” at the end of each post. I need it to be in Spanish: “por”. ¿How can I do?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there, this is what I currently see at the end of your post from 27 June on your above website:

  Is that what you meant? If not, please provide a direct link to where you see this on your WordPress.com website.

  @justjennifer,

  The word “by” is appearing in the author credit on the lone published post on the blog page.

  Looks like there may be a Blog Posts Block in the page titled “Blog.” That block includes the word “by” in the author credit, whereas (on Independent Publisher 2) posts in the default or assigned blog page just give the display name without the word “by” in front of it in the metadata.

  Great catch @musicdoc1 – I saw this yesterday but also noted that the thread had been flagged for Staff so didn’t want to bump it, but this tag is now missing.

  
  @barbarismosybarbaridades can you confirm you are using the Blog Posts Block in that Post?

  I’m sorry. I’m really new a using WordPress and don’t quite understand what a Block Posts Block means. I may be using that, but should be the default on Independetn Publisher 2, because I haven’t change that.
  If so, how can I change the word “by”?
  Thanks for your help.

  Hi there,

  All translations on WordPress.com are done by volunteers from the community. You can find the Spanish translation project for WordPress.com at https://translate.wordpress.com/projects/wpcom/es/default/, and for your theme at https://translate.wordpress.com/projects/wpcom/themes/independent-publisher-2/es/default/

  But this particular string is not currently available for translation. Our team who manages translations are already aware of this, and are working on a fix. Once that string gets added to the translation project it can be translated, and then it will update on your site automatically. For the Spanish translation specifically we’ve had a few other people ask about this, so I suspect one of our Spanish staff will update that translation as soon as it’s available.
