 * I’m trying to learn php, but am not very good with it yet. I’m trying to delete
   some post fileds for specific user roles. “Author” to be exact. This is what 
   I have so far. It deletes the field for the “Author” role, but also for admin.
   I just want to delete the field for “Author’s”.
 *     ```
       function remove_post_excerpt_field() {
       	if($role=='author')
       	remove_meta_box('postexcerpt', 'post', 'normal' );
       }
       add_action('admin_menu', 'remove_post_excerpt_field');
       ```
