An easy way is to use a static variable to store author name, then run again same function on a later hook, maybe ‘posts_results’ and set back the variable: function wpquery( $query, $query_on_results = NULL ) { static $author_name = NULL; if ( current_filter() === ‘pre_get_posts’ ) { if ( $query->is_author() && $query->is_main_query() ) { … Read more
When the loop is complete, have_posts() rewinds it back by calling the rewind_posts() method of the $wp_query object, see here. Here’s another (more simple?) setup that you could try: while( have_posts()): the_post(); if ( 0 == $wp_query->current_post ): // post 1 elseif ( 1 == $wp_query->current_post ): // post 2 else: // other posts endif; … Read more

Use the main query and make use of pre_get_posts to alter the main query as needed. To solve your issue, remove the query_posts line, this is how … Read more
