Just to make sure, it is the author box on post where “admin” is the author i want to hide.

hi,
this can be done by modifying the source files of the theme.

unfortunately we do not offer custom work, so you need to hire a programmer for this task

Thanks for you message.

Is it possible to have the function in a future release of the theme?
I saw other people requesting it too. or is it too hard to program?

Hi,
Add this code:

<?php 
if (get_the_author_meta('ID') != 1) {
    echo $td_mod_single->get_author_box();
}
?>

instead of this one: http://screencast.com/t/4gwlLozs

In the code above 1 mean posts written by the author with ID 1 will not have the author box. Change the ID from which author you want to hide the box.

Hope this help.
Thanks for your message!

I have the same issue. Some posts don’t need an author bio under the article.
Mabye it’s possible in a future update to make a checkbox in “Post settings” to show or hide the author bio for that specific article?
