 * Since I created new author, plugin stop working.
    I use it to show author on 
   certain posts. Now shows everywhere or shows nowhere. I tried to reinstall, but
   db entries remain and always get same settings. I would like to remove it completely
   and try one more time to install it. Can you tell me name of db for this plugin?
   TNX

 * Did you change or update your theme?
 * The plugin uses the same database as WordPress. You shouldn’t have to remove 
   entries from the DB manually. Resaving the settings will write them to the database.

 * Since I set plugin I didn’t do anything with my theme. Yesterday it worked, today
   no. Only new thing in meanwhile is new author.
    I tried everything. Only settings
   that accepts is not to show author at all. If I set to show author on posts, 
   it shows always even if I set hide author. I tried to exclude for certain categories
   using url option nothing changes.
 * When I reinstalled, I tried few times, there were saved settings under posts,
   but when I saved nothing happened.
 * I know that plugins use the same db as WP but I don’t know under what name is
   your plugin. I would like to hide author for all categories, but to leave it 
   on blog because there are 6 different people that write and it would be nice 
   to show author.
 * Only idea is to remove it completely and install it again.

 * The settings are saved in the wp_options table. Look for option_name = show_author_options.

 * TNX but nothing to do. Every time I reinstall it old settings remains.
    If you
   have some idea I would appreciate. If not I must find another way to hide two
   authors and to leave rest.
