   I'm having an issue with bylines. The editor of the blog I'm developing needs the byline to show only if the author is not Author X.

   So: If author does not equal Author X - display byline

   However, I'm not sure how to test for the author's name/ID in an if statement since it seems that all of the author tags I've tried print the author data on the page, and I need to use it simply for testing.

   Any ideas?

   <?php define ('AUTHOR_X_ID', '16');
   $author_id = get_the_author_ID();
   
   if ( $author_id != AUTHOR_X_ID ) {
     display byline
   }; ?>
