about "Content by author",
1. Go to Extension / Languages / Overrides
2. Filter by language e.g. "English"
3. Click New and inside the (new) override form, inside the search input box paste:
Content by author

4. If message to wait for cache refresh then wait, and then click the search button
5. Click on the result to load it
6. Go to the right and enter a new custom language translation at the "Text" box and save, you can even enter empty

Hello,
thank you for the tip. worked like a charm!
but how remove colon : after « Content by author »

and i didn’t find a solution to replace or select displayed value 'Author’s Name' by 'Author’s username' .

it could be interesting to have choice to select to display author's name or his username in the "Authored Items" field type

like value selection in the 'created by' field type .

Hello

Edit your template file
component/com_flexicontent/template/tttt/category(_html5).php

just before:

// If customizing via CSS rules or JS scripts is not enough, then please copy the following file here to customize the HTML too
include(JPATH_SITE.DS.'components'.DS.'com_flexicontent'.DS.'tmpl_common'.DS.'category.php');

Add (just do not forget to customize the title 'Items of the user: ')

Code:

	$app      = JFactory::getApplication();
	$layout   = $app->input->getCmd('layout');
	$authorid = $app->input->getInt('authorid');

	if ($layout === 'author')
	{
		$authorObj = JFactory::getUser($authorid);
		$custom_heading = 'Items of the user: ' . $authorObj->username;

		$this->params->set('page_heading', $custom_heading);
		
		JFactory::getDocument()->setTitle($custom_heading);
	}
