Remove Author Box from just ONE user??

Posted in: Newspaper

Hello, I love the theme, but I was wondering how I can remove the author box from only one user? I have several users, each with their own bio, but then I have a user called “Guest” which is for anybody who just has a guest post once or twice. This user doesn’t have a bio, since it encompasses many different people, so I’d just like to get rid of the author box for this user, but not the others. How can I do this?

hi,
this is possible only with the modification of the source of the theme.
here is the file : http://screencast.com/t/ctMisMnYi0

If you are not a programmer please hire one for this task, as we do not offer custom work.

Thanks for you message.

Radu, thanks for all your help. Since the theme changed to the new 4.0, there is no more loop-single.php, right?

Can you give me updated instructions on how to remove the author box for just one user? Thanks so much!

hi,

In version 4.0 we have added posts templates : http://screencast.com/t/QhAcLBYffKC
and now we have 6 loop-singe files, each one used to display a post template.

loop-single.php is used to display the default template.

Now about author box, are you referring to this one: http://screencast.com/t/zP7ivobP

I don’t think you can do this for user Administrator, but is possible for other users.
In order to remove the box just for the some users you need to know their id’s.
take the user id from here: http://screencast.com/t/qMEEZyYuLq

then modify each loop-single .php file -> http://screencast.com/t/EjN5yfCE

then in the td_module_blog.php -> function get_author_box : http://screencast.com/t/wEAc5wbE23

is not easy but can be made.

hope this help.

Thanks for you message.
