author at bold using biblatex, Name of authors appear on the References

Question

Im using this code from Make specific author bold using biblatex to highlight authors with First Name Last Name and First Name Middle Name Last Name in this way:

\makeatletter
\def\nhblx@bibfile@name{\jobname -nhblx.bib}
\newwrite\nhblx@bibfile
\immediate\openout\nhblx@bibfile=\nhblx@bibfile@name
\immediate\write\nhblx@bibfile{%
    @comment{Auto-generated file}\blx@nl}
\newcounter{nhblx@name}
\setcounter{nhblx@name}{0}
\newcommand*{\nhblx@writenametobib}[1]{%
    \stepcounter{nhblx@name}%
    \edef\nhblx@tmp@nocite{%
        \noexpand\AfterPreamble{%
            \noexpand\setbox0\noexpand\vbox{%
                \noexpand\nhblx@getmethehash{nhblx@name@\the\value{nhblx@name}}}}%
    }%
    \nhblx@tmp@nocite
    \immediate\write\nhblx@bibfile{%
        @misc{nhblx@name@\the\value{nhblx@name}, author = {\unexpanded{#1}}, %
            options = {dataonly=true},}%
    }%
}
\AtEndDocument{%
    \closeout\nhblx@bibfile}
\addbibresource{\nhblx@bibfile@name}
\newcommand*{\nhblx@boldhashes}{}
\DeclareNameFormat{nhblx@hashextract}{%
    \xifinlist{\thefield{hash}}{\nhblx@boldhashes}
    {}
    {\listxadd{\nhblx@boldhashes}{\thefield{hash}}}}
\DeclareCiteCommand{\nhblx@getmethehash}
{}
{\printnames[nhblx@hashextract][1-999]{author}}
{}
{}
\newcommand{\addboldnames}{\forcsvlist\nhblx@writenametobib}
\newcommand{\resetboldnames}{\def\nhblx@boldhashes{}}
\newcommand*{\mkboldifhashinlist}[1]{%
    \xifinlist{\thefield{hash}}{\nhblx@boldhashes}
    {\mkbibbold{#1}}
    {#1}}
\makeatother
\DeclareNameWrapperFormat{boldifhashinlist}{%
    \renewcommand*{\mkbibcompletename}{\mkboldifhashinlist}%
    #1}
\DeclareNameWrapperAlias{sortname}{default}
\DeclareNameWrapperAlias{default}{boldifhashinlist}
\resetboldnames\addboldnames{{Pedro Filipe Oliveira}, {Pedro Oliveira}}
\bibliography{info_extra_files/PFO_Publications}

The highlight is correct, but at references the first two publications printed are the boldnames defined before, like you can see in the picture attached.

The complete code is: main.tex

The code you are using assumes you run Biber as backend (backen=bibtex,), but you are running the legacy BibTeX backend (backend=bibtex,) which does not support all biblatex features.

Most importantly, BibTeX does not actually calculate name hashes to the same level Biber does, so I'm not sure if correct name detection is guaranteed to work in all circumstances.

If at all possible, you should consider switching to Biber by changing backend=bibtex, to backend=biber, and running Biber on your document instead of BibTeX (Biblatex with Biber: Configuring my editor to avoid undefined citations will help with your editor configuration).

If you must stick with BibTeX, you can avoid the immediate problem in your MWE, namely that the option dataonly=true is not resolved correctly, by using the explicit form skipbib=true,skipbiblist=true,skiplab=true.

Replace

\newcommand*{\nhblx@writenametobib}[1]{%
    \stepcounter{nhblx@name}%
    \edef\nhblx@tmp@nocite{%
        \noexpand\AfterPreamble{%
            \noexpand\setbox0\noexpand\vbox{%
                \noexpand\nhblx@getmethehash{nhblx@name@\the\value{nhblx@name}}}}%
    }%
    \nhblx@tmp@nocite
    \immediate\write\nhblx@bibfile{%
        @misc{nhblx@name@\the\value{nhblx@name}, author = {\unexpanded{#1}}, %
            options = {dataonly=true},}%
    }%
}

with

\newcommand*{\nhblx@writenametobib}[1]{%
    \stepcounter{nhblx@name}%
    \edef\nhblx@tmp@nocite{%
        \noexpand\AfterPreamble{%
            \noexpand\setbox0\noexpand\vbox{%
                \noexpand\nhblx@getmethehash{nhblx@name@\the\value{nhblx@name}}}}%
    }%
    \nhblx@tmp@nocite
    \immediate\write\nhblx@bibfile{%
        @misc{nhblx@name@\the\value{nhblx@name}, author = {\unexpanded{#1}}, %
            options = {skipbib=true,skipbiblist=true,skiplab=true},}%
    }%
}

The following MWE produces acceptable output even with BibTeX.
