Selectively Disable FAB

What’s your URL?

Author box should not be display on your front page and shortcode is only available in the premium version.

Can you disable on selected posts? E.g. I sometimes put up a Guest Post by another author, and obviously I don’t want my bio showing up under their post. (They are not a user on my site, I’ve placed the post for them.)

Hi,

I just updated the plugin, now there’s an option to disable the author box in individual posts/pages by using ‘ts_fab_hide’ custom field (with any value). You should be able to upgrade the plugin through WordPress dashboard at some point today.

Love the plugin – really nice! And like that it can be removed from specific pages/posts.

Is there a way to disable it for an entire category ID – say, by adding line of code to template? I have hundreds of posts where I don’t want the box to display and disabling individually is pretty much out of the question.

Thanks!

Hi, really glad you like the plugin!

Haven’t tested this, but I think you should be able to disable it in certain categories by doing something like this (add it to functions.php):

if ( in_category ( 'my-category' ) ) {
    remove_filter( 'the_content', 'ts_fab_add_author_box' );
}

Thanks for the quick response. But doesn’t seem to be working. I tired using both cat ID number and cat ID name. I also tried adding it directly to the template.

I need to disable it from multiple categories so I also tried;

if ( in_category ( array ( ‘146,10,136,65,172,133,57,144’ ) ) ) {
remove_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘ts_fab_add_author_box’ );
}

OK, got a chance to try this out, and turns out it works if added to your single post template. This is the exact code I used, and it worked:

if ( in_category ( 'Cat A' ) ) {
    remove_filter( 'the_content', 'ts_fab_add_author_box', 10 );
}
