Display Author Box conditionally using ACF CheckBox Custom Field

[rogger]

Hi, I am trying to setup author box on single pages. What i want to achieve is that the author box will be displayed on only those pages where i manually tick the custom field checkbox generated by ACF Plugin.

I tried with this code. Not Working
Any Ideas

//* Add the author box on single posts
function display_authorbox() {
            if (get_field('display_author') == 'Yes') {
add_filter( 'get_the_author_genesis_author_box_single', '__return_true' );
}
}

Checkboxes are tricky. Check the ACF forums for this type of stuff and also Google:

Hi Brad, I want that only on the posts where i tick the custom field Author Box, it will show up. Otherwise...It gets hidden. Thanks

You'll need custom code for that as it involves a 3rd party plugin.
