 * Hi to all best members.
 * I want to excloude the author tag from all posts only in one of my categories.
 * In my single.php i use the [<?php the_author(); ?>] tag.
    It show the author 
   tag in post of all of my categories.
 * Its good, but i have one of these categories that not need to show the author.
 * How can I hide or exclude or add this tag only from posts in one categories.
 * Is there a plugin that make a button in my #quicktags caled “post author” for
   example !???
 * Or can I assign ivisible author or assign author for a special posts…

 * You could put the_author inside this code bit:
    `<?php $post = $wp_query->post;
   if ( !in_category('1') ) { ?> <?php the_author(); ?> <?php } ?> Then it’ll show
   the author’s name if NOT in category so-and-so (change the number 1 to the correct
   category ID) I tested it out on my blog so it should work
 * **Edit** Actually just
    `<?php if ( !in_category('1') ) { ?> <?php the_author();?
   > <?php } ?> works fine too
