 * Hi all,
 * I just purchased the Pro version of this plugin. Unfortunately it gives a problem.
   When I use the shortcode [starbox], my author box is not shown anymore. When 
   I used the free version this did work.
 * Now I can only set my author box to be displayed by checking ‘posts’ in the settings.
   The author box is now displayed on every post. But I would like to have the option
   to show it on specific pages and posts.
 * Hope you can help me.
 * Kind regards,
    Marvin Grouw
