Aha, I see. Thank you for always being so helpful both with troubleshooting and educating! As a semi-novice I really appreciate it.

It did, thank you so much! Perfect!

if (function_exists ('wpb_the_biography_box')) {

	}

Yes, I’m using a template tag on author.php to display the Biography Box (using your example). Here’s an example of my problem:

example post (no bio box — good)
example author archive (bio box shown at top — not good)

On authors not excluded, though, the bio box shows up fine on posts.

And for the problematic author above:

(
            [ID] => 73
            [user_login] => Ava DiGioia
            [wp_biographia_suppress_posts] =>
            [wp_biographia_suppress_pages] =>
        )

It looks like all the author settings are the same as above, regardless of whether they’ve been excluded.

Same problem here!

Has anyone figured this out?

Anyone? There has to be a way to do this.

Never mind — I found where I can edit it in the Vanilla jsconnect plugin settings.

Same problem here — anyone have a fix?

Hm, I was using the Remove Dashboard Access plugin but it prevented an author from reaching the post editor page and media upload, which is why I was hoping yours would work. Ah well. Thanks for your response!

Ok, thanks.

Perfect! Thank you so much!

Here’s the whole thing:

if ( current_user_can( 'publish_posts' )) {
    ( add_filter ('wp_biographia_contact_info', 'add_author_website') );
	}

function add_author_website ($contacts) {
    // contacts = array (field => array (field => field-name, contactmethod => description))
    $contacts['authorsite'] = array (
        'field' => 'authorsite',
        'contactmethod' => __('Author Website')
    );

    return $contacts;
}

add_filter ('wp_biographia_link_items', 'add_authorsite_link', 2);

function add_authorsite_link ($links, $icon_dir_url) {
    // links = array (field => array (link_title => title, link_text => text, link_icon => URL)
    $links['authorsite'] = array (
        'link_title' => __('Author Website'),
        'link_text' => __('Author Website'),
        'link_icon' => $icon_dir_url . 'authorsite.png'
        );

        return $links;
}

(I went with the capability check instead of user type after all, because it seemed better/easier especially since we have both authors and admins, and it seemed to work fine.)

WP 3.5.1, WP Biographia 3.3.0. The error message is:

Warning: Missing argument 2 for add_authorsite_link() in /home/jasontd/public_html/fandomania.com/wp-content/themes/megazine_v1-04/functions.php on line 219

And thanks, I think I got the author check part working now!

add_filter ('wp_biographia_link_items', 'add_authorsite_link', 2);

function add_authorsite_link ($links, $icon_dir_url) {
    // links = array (field => array (link_title => title, link_text => text, link_icon => URL)
    $links['authorsite'] = array (
        'link_title' => __('Author Website'),
        'link_text' => __('Author Website'),
        'link_icon' => $icon_dir_url . 'authorsite.png'
        );

        return $links;
}

Yes, I’ve specified the alternate icon directory in the settings. I have two other icons (email and Twitter) in there that show up properly.

So using the “is this user an author” check, would I include that as a separate function? Or do I put the “if” part surrounding the rest of the function? (Or both?)
