Some of my plug-ins (calendar and products) use a WP Page format for posting the event or the item but do not have the author metabox on the edit page, so I have no way of changing the plug-in default setting which is my admin and main author for blog posts. I don’t want to disable that user bio as it is one so many posts now.

Is there is a shortcode to remove all social bios just on the single page, that’s what I am seeking.

Thanks for the quick response!

Hi Nick. I could use a shortcode to “no display” per page.

I have some plug-ins that automatically use my admin bio for page posts but I can not choose the author on the page (not an available field on the plug in edit) nor change the one the page displays.

Thanks!

Yes, this is useful! I was using Dreamweaver and couldn’t find the child theme in my WP themes. Thanks for taking the time to post the solution.

Thanks Perry for your e-mail support.

Here’s the answer…

Look for the “Post Meta” (or preferred location) section in the index.php file

To include all custom fields in no order that posts the name and the value use:

<?php the_meta(); ?>

To post individual custom values use:

<?php $key="REPLACE W/KEY NAME"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?>

This will ignore any custom fields that do not have a value.

I replaced my theme’s “author” with this tag so I now have the byline as the custom field “name” from the form instead of “Guest.” Very cool!

These fields are not showing on the individual post pages yet, just the blog page. That’s next lesson…
