Hi, folks
in testing the deployment on an almost new site; got through all the normal stuff (resize thumbs, get all plugins in, switch off old plugs not used; and made the one ‘hack’ to use existing views field).
Ran into one thing, which is the “authors” widget when placed in the default sidebar, there is no way to disable the superuser (changed from admin for security), using the visibility > hide > author > superguy doesn’t hide that user. Similarly, swapping that for ‘show’ vs hide and show 3 authors, still shows the superuser regardless of sort by name or number of posts.
Not using any cache plugin, and same behavior in both Crhome/Win7 and IE10/Win7 (not that this matters).
This is v1.4a, the first one, which also still reports something needs to be updated when it’s not. 😉
I am going to FTP the “latest” v1.4b (I added the a, b for my own peace of mind, not that you did that) up in a moment, just letting you know I ran into this glitch (only one so far).
I guess by 1.4b I meant 1.4.1 ?
Anyway… another issue is that with the hover on profile mode “on” … the hover profile with gravatar shows the user ID code and not the pretty name (e.g., userid might be chrisdude and pretty name is Chris Simmons …). This makes the hover element kind of useless as it doesn’t show the author name properly on hover. I suppose I could change the user names completely, and reassign the posts for that author to new user ID… but not elegant solution there.
Hello,
If you mean about this http://screencast.com/t/PsaSs3UqSZ this will hide the widget on that author page. This is from wordpress and Visibility option on widgets is to hide or show that widget in some conditions.
You want to hide an author to not be on Widget author?
For gravatar name log in to Gravatar.com and change Display name http://screencast.com/t/Kn367jdTYWN
Hi, Marius
yes, as noted, when I try to “hide” the superuser account (changed from admin to another name), it still shows up when placed into the default sidebar using the td author widget. Alternately, if I use visibility to only pick 3 out of the 4 authors to make visible, it still shows the 4th superuser account.
The superuser account should not show up in the author widget, even though the superuser is technically an author of perhaps a “page” when they are created.
The only plugins I have active beyond your core set is the Yoast SEO properly configured, the WP optimize, recaptcha and akismet. I also tried disabling jetpack, which I’m not using at the moment anyway.
(I’ve been a WordPress dev since 2005, so not a newbie.)
Hello,
We will make an option on Authors widget to hide authors by ID
Thanks and sorry for misunderstanding
Have a nice day!
Hi, that fix in v 1.5 worked by the way. Took me a minute to realize the superuser/admin is ID 1, so I could enter that ID. Works! Thanks again! 🙂
Great @neotrope
Have a nice day!
