WordPress function that retrieves both posts written by a specific author& posts that contain a tag matching author’s username on author archive page
It is not possible to answer without looking at the codebase of your theme. You may need to edit the author.php file. If that file does not exist in your theme, look for the next file in the hierarchy. https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/#author-display
Custom fields don’t have an archive template so you may wish to consider using a custom taxnomy, where the terms are the names of your guest authors.

How to make the Post Author name fixed as “Editorial Staff” even if there are multiple authors?
Sorry, but I found the answer very quickly myself and I attempted to delete this original question, but I think maybe somebody else may need this answer. This is right code to solve this issue: <h1 class=”page-title”> <?php echo ‘<a href=”‘.get_author_posts_url(get_userdata($posts[0]->post_author)->data->ID).'”>’.get_userdata($posts[0]->post_author)->data->display_name.'</a>’; ?></h1>
i solve this problem by using this code <?php $curauth = (isset($_GET[‘author_name’])) ? get_user_by(‘slug’, $author_name) : get_userdata(intval($author)); ?> <?php the_field(‘grantor_name’, ‘user_’.$curauth->ID)
You will need something like this in your author.php file. Taken from the Codex. http://codex.wordpress.org/Author_Templates <?php get_header(); ?> <div id=”content” class=”narrowcolumn”> <!– This sets the $curauth variable –> <?php $curauth = (isset($_GET[‘author_name’])) ? get_user_by(‘slug’, $author_name) : get_userdata(intval($author)); ?> <h2>About: <?php echo $curauth->nickname; ?></h2> <dl> <dt>Website</dt> <dd><a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/157033/<?php echo $curauth->user_url; ?>”><?php echo $curauth->user_url; ?></a></dd> <dt>Profile</dt> <dd><?php … Read more
Basic debugging… $current_author = get_query_var(‘author’); var_dump($current_author); … would reveal that $current_author is a string, not an object. The problem is that you are trying to use the string as an object in the query. get_posts( ‘author=”.$current_author->id.”&posts_per_page=1&order=DESC&orderby=post_date’ ); Change $current_author->id to $current_author and the query works. $author_posts = get_posts( ‘author=”.$current_author.”&posts_per_page=1&order=DESC&orderby=post_date’ );
please refer to the codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy#Author_display however, your problem is caused by a conflict of the .author class output by the body_class() and this existing style in custom.css: .author { float: left; margin-top: -3px; width: 219px; background: #E7ECEF; border-right: 1px solid #D6DFDC; height: 41px; cursor: pointer; } check why this style is added there in … Read more
