    I saw the comment was closed on another thread so I started a new one.

    Authors are able to change this themselves? from Yes/No

    Hi @fouldsy99,

    Yes, you can switch off the Author Box from the User > Edit Profile.

    Yes, but the problem is is that author can then login to his profile and change it back

    Yes, this is right. We don’t have a way to remove this option from the user profile.

    How show for only certain user groups?

    I don’t know if you can do this with the Starbox plugin.

    You can do this with a hook like this:

    add_action('template_redirect',function($content){
    global $post;

    if(isset($post->post_author) && class_exists('ABH_Classes_Tools')){
        if(in_array($post->post_author,array(1,2,3,4))){
            ABH_Classes_Tools::$options = array();
        }
    }

},PHP_INT_MAX);

    where 1,2,3,4 are the author IDs

    That would be too many IDs

    If possible to set by user group or capability would be better
