 * Hi Tareq,
    Love the plugin, but i was having some issues with security when editing
   posts. When editing a post there are several hidden fields. So if a user changes
   these to shown he can do many changes that are unwanted. The user can change 
   this to shown: <input type=”hidden” name=”post_author” value=”1″> and change 
   the post author. Is there a way to remove these fields, or make them constant?
