I have this website on which I want to display the author box on blog pages, but not on my event and gallery pages. I can’t seem to change this in the setting. * Cheers, * Leonard * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/birds-author-box/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/birds-author-box/) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Plugin Author [Frederic Serva](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fredserva/) * (@fredserva) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-posts-like-events-galleries/#post-6295213) * Do your event & gallery posts belong to categories named ‘event’ and ‘gallery’? If so, you can exclude these categories: * Open **frontend.php** (in ‘Public’ folder) Find line 94 * > if ((!is_singular($custpt) && !in_array(‘woocommerce-page’, $bodyclasses))) * and add just after **$bodyclasses)** (mind the bracket!) * > && !in_category( array( ‘event’, ‘gallery’) ) * Save the file.

One more question if I may, How do I exclude posts in child categories? This doesn’t seem to work with just using the names of the categories. * Plugin Author [Frederic Serva](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fredserva/) * (@fredserva) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-posts-like-events-galleries/#post-6295306) * Take a look at the [Codex](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/in_category#Testing_if_a_post_is_in_a_descendant_category) * It should work with names of any category. * [kinokas7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kinokas7/) * (@kinokas7) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-posts-like-events-galleries/#post-6295381) * Hi Frederic Thanks for your contribution on those great Birds plugins and themes. I use Author Box and came up with similar problem where it runs flawlessly across my site but there is time I want to disable it on some static pages, found this thread and your tweak in frontend.php, let me just chime-in : !is_page( array(‘ event’, ‘gallery’ ) ) The above line does NOT work, for those who want it disabled on some pages. I pasted that code right in line 94 and saved frontend.php, refreshed web, got error message saying “unexpected ! causing error in line 94”. * Then I figured out the solution, you forgot the &&, paste the code below right after $bodyclasses),change page title accordingly to your site : && !is_page( array(‘about’,’service’,’contact’)) That should work on pages. Cheers and keep up the good works, I got another question below. * [kinokas7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kinokas7/) * (@kinokas7) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-posts-like-events-galleries/#post-6295382) * Did you test Author Box on any Visual Composer module-built pages and default WordPress template pages? For my site, Author Box works perfectly with VC built pages, the Bio/Social/Latest Posts tabs displays correct, however, when using a WP default template pages, Author Box tabs shows little black pixel-like squares in tab-titles. Very weird. When I switched that page to VC built landing page, Author Box tabs just shows the title without those black little squares. There might still be time I want to use Author Box on default template pages, so any solutions? Thanks in advance. * Yun * [kinokas7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kinokas7/) * (@kinokas7) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-posts-like-events-galleries/#post-6295383) * Oh, 2nd Question : How can I add popular Chinese social network Weibo in the php file? Or could you add Chinese social icons in the next update?

So: open **frontend. php** (in ‘Public’ folder). Find line 92 Add a new line after this one and write: * > ‘portfolio’, * (Mind the comma) Save.
