How to hide the author box of a specific user?

Question

I am running a news website, most of the posts are from an Editor Account. I want to hide the author-box displaying at the bottom of the posts, only for this user. Only author box of Editor should be hidden from public.
Is there any way to hide the author box of a particular user from public, with a funtion?

Author box element is in loop-single.php file. wrapped in the footer of the post,

<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_social_sharing_bottom();?>
    <?php echo $td_mod_single->get_next_prev_posts();?>
    <?php echo $td_mod_single->get_author_box();?>
    <?php echo $td_mod_single->get_item_scope_meta();?>

Answer 1

If you know the data of the author, you can wrap that box with an if and the function get_the_author

if( get_the_author() == "name_of_the_author" ){
// Don't do it
}else{
// Print box
}

EDIT with the final answer updated:

<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_social_sharing_bottom();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_next_prev_posts();?>
<?php
 $user = get_user_by("login", "pknn"); // user object
 // get_the_author() needs the display name, not the login
 if( get_the_author() != $user->data->display_name ){
  echo $td_mod_single->get_author_box();
 }
?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_item_scope_meta();?>

It's unclear for me if you want to hide the author box for users with 'editor' role of for the user 'Editor'.

Here's the code for detecting if an user has the editor role and that shows the author box for all other roles:

// Add this in you single post template
// See https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/

// First we get the author role:
global $authordata; // The author object for the current post. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Global_Variables
$author_roles = $authordata->roles; // Get all author roles. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_User
$author_role = array_shift( $author_roles ); // Get the user role

// Now we check if the author is an editor
if ( $author_role != 'editor' ) {
    // Show the author box
}

If you rather want to hide the author box for a specific 'Editor' user, use this instead:

// Add this in you single post template
// See https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/

// First we get the author username:
global $authordata; // The author object for the current post. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Global_Variables
$username = $authordata->user_login; // Get the author username. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_User

// Now we check if the author username is 'Editor'
if ( $username != 'Editor' ) {
   // Show the author box
}

Let me know if you find this useful.
