    Hi there!

    I’m trying to help a client find a solution to their author box problem.

    Big Scoots looked into this a while ago and said that it is because the plugin was calling?https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/get_users/?and the fact that we have over 100k users was making it freeze up.

    So I’m hoping there’s a filter that we can add to his site to specify Admin, Editors, and Contributors so that he doesn’t have to use a different plugin or get a dev to custom build something.

    Your help will be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Sorry about the issue. We don’t have a filter but if you are not inserting the author box as a block manually then you could just set the $authors variable to an empty array in simple-author-box/inc/class-simple-author-box-block.php line 52-57. Replace those few lines with just $authors = array();

    Thanks for the suggestion, Alexandru!

    Initially that could work, but the trouble is when the plugin is updated, the change will be reverted.

    Short-term, that’s great but we’re looking for a long-term solution.

    But thank you anyway. ??
