[Tex/LaTex] Remove thanks star from author and affiliation

affiliationauthorsymbols

I try to add author and affiliation as follows, but I get a star next to both the name and the affiliation. I have seen some posts about the star symbol (example1,example2)but I want to use \thanks and I have not managed to do this.
Any ideas how to remove the symbol from both the name and the affiliation?

\documentclass[12pr,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{titling}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}

\begin{document}
    \title{\vspace{-3.0cm}\rule{\textwidth}{1pt}\\title here\\\vspace{1.0cm}\rule{\textwidth}{1pt}\\{\Large something else}}
    \author{name here\thanks{Department here}}

    \maketitle
    \newpage
    \tableofcontents
    \newpage
    \renewcommand{\thesection}{\arabic{section}}
\end{document}

Write the next code into the preamble (before \begin{document}):

\makeatletter
\def\thanks#1{\protected@xdef\@thanks{\@thanks
        \protect\footnotetext{#1}}}
\makeatother

Solution proposed in the manual

The manual suggests a solution where each author has an independent \author{} command and a shared \affiliation{}. Using this solution, the names of the authors will be presented one above the other and a single affiliation is presented below.

The example code (in the template download and at page 10 of the manual) is

\author{Ben Trovato}
\email{trovato@corporation.com}
\orcid{1234-5678-9012}
\author{G.K.M. Tobin}
\email{webmaster@marysville-ohio.com}
\affiliation{%
  \institution{Institute for Clarity in Documentation}
  \streetaddress{P.O. Box 1212}
  \city{Dublin}
  \state{Ohio}
  \postcode{43017-6221}
}

The resulting block is like the following:

Other solution: Omit the reference block

However, if you wanna create a single author block, you may check other question at StackExchange.

You can instruct the template to omit the ACM reference block using \settopmatter{printacmref=false} before \maketitle

[Tex/LaTex] How to remove affiliation from title

Define a dummy \affiliation (empty doesn't work, \mbox{} does).

\documentclass[letterpaper,man,natbib]{apa6}

\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\title{sometitle}
\shorttitle{sometitle}
\author{someauthor}
\affiliation{\mbox{}}

\abstract{asfdasdfasdf}

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\end{document}

By the way, avoid utf8x: it's unmaintained and does nothing that the current utf8 option can do. If you have an up-to-date TeX distribution, \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} can even be omitted.
