 * I am using a specific plugin for my vacation rental properties which has it’s
   own post type. Starbox is assuming the property pages are posts and consequently
   putting my author box on each of the property pages. Is there any way to auto
   detect post or page types so Starbox plugin will also have the option to turn
   off the author box for these properties? I’ve seen it done in other plugins of
   this kind so I’m hoping you can help with this one. I would be happy to give 
   more info if you need it. BTW I love Starbox plugin. It works great except for
   that little problem. Thanks.

 * Okay, I added a filter to show the author box only in post type = “post”
    You
   can check now if is working for you.
 * Please re-install the plugin (will not remove your data)
 * I will add some options in settings in the future.
 * Please also write a short review for StarBox to support us.
 * Thank you so much

 * Loving your plugin as well!
    I have many posts where I DON’T want the author 
   box to show up. Is there a way to remove the author box from certain posts? Not
   sure what “Hide Author Box from custom posts types” stands for?

   to hide and it won’t let me uncheck and save. Please help.. this is really affecting
   my google structure data errors in webmaster tools.
