   if it is Author B i dont want them to be shown in the meta…i have the following
   in my child theme functions file..
 *     ```
       //
           // Author.
           //
           $author = sprintf( 'Posted by %s   ',
             ( function_exists( 'coauthors' ) && is_singular('post') ) ? coauthors_posts_links() : get_the_author()
           );
       ```
