 * Hi,
 * I have recently installed the plugin and have two difficulties:
    - How to prevent my own box (as the one with admin role) from showing?
    - PPA does not update bios when they are modified in WP (profiles are first 
      created in BuddyPress in my use case).
 * Thanks for your help.

 * Hi [@ph59](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ph59/)
 * Thanks for using our plugin.
    - Does your user attach as an author for that post? If yes, then it’s not possible
      to hide it unless using CSS.
    - Can you elaborate more on this point please?
 * Thanks,

 * Hi Riza,
 * As an admin, I guess I am also an author by default and will have to use CSS 
   to make sure my own bio does not appear on all the posts I created. If I am correct,
   what would be the CSS code to use?
 * Regarding the second point: My users can only save their bio in their BuddyPress
   extended profile. These bios are automatically saved in WordPress users’ profile.

 * On point 1, I got rid of Redis and this seems to have fixed the issue of bio 
   boxes failing to update.
 * On point 2 – removing admin from showing a box at all at the end of posts -, 
   what is the answer?

 * Just discovered that I could disable the post author display… 🙂 I close this
   ticket.

 * Well, unfortunately I was wrong about profiles saving in PPA. It still does not
   work. 🙁

 * I should perhaps clarify things a bit.
 * On my website, users update their bio in BuddyPress, and the same bio is then
   supposed to be replicated in the PublishPress Authors box field. The syncing 
   works fine between BP and WP, not from WP to PPA. The first iteration of the 
   bio in BP is effectively taken by PPA, but no update will be synced from one 
   to the other.
