## Description

Removes the author column on Edit Posts page (for custom post types as well). The
author column doesn’t make sense on single author blogs. By removing it, you can
save precious real estate and use other useful plugins like [Simply Show Ids] (https://
wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simply-show-ids/) which will show the ID of the posts,
categories, tags etc.

### Upgrade

 1. Use the plugin updater in WordPress or…
 2. Delete the previous `remove-author-column` folder from the `/wp-content/plugins/`
    directory
 3. Upload the new `remove-author-column` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory

### Usage

 1. Just install and activate.

## Screenshots
