If you use code similar to setup the rewrite rules: function ex_rewrite( $wp_rewrite ) { $feed_rules = array( ‘author/?$’ => ‘index.php?author_page=author_page’ ); $wp_rewrite->rules = $feed_rules + $wp_rewrite->rules; return $wp_rewrite; } // refresh/flush permalinks in the dashboard if this is changed in any way add_filter( ‘generate_rewrite_rules’, ‘ex_rewrite’ ); followed by code to add the author_page as … Read more

I would use add_rewrite_endpoint() with EP_AUTHORS target. That should take care of URLs and query var to check for [relatively :)] cleanly.
You can display user posts using user’s ID. This code might provide a quick sample on how to do it (I have not tested the code). $user_id = $_GET[‘author_id’]; //The Query query_posts(“author={$user_id}”); //The Loop if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); the_title(); echo “<br>”; endwhile; else: echo “No Posts!”; endif; //Reset … Read more

Add rewrite rules add_action(‘generate_rewrite_rules’, ‘author_cpt_add_rewrite_rules’); function author_cpt_add_rewrite_rules( $wp_rewrite ) { $new_rules = array( ‘author/(.+)/(.+)’ => ‘index.php?author=”.$wp_rewrite->preg_index(1) . “&post_type=” .$wp_rewrite->preg_index(2) ); // Add the new rewrite rule into the top of the global rules array $wp_rewrite->rules = $new_rules + $wp_rewrite->rules; } 2.

According to this blogpost you just need to add the following code to your themes functions.php or in a plugin: /* Add CPTs to author archives */ function custom_post_author_archive($query) { if ($query->is_author) $query->set( ‘post_type’, array(‘custom_type’, ‘post’) ); remove_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘custom_post_author_archive’ ); } add_action(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘custom_post_author_archive’);
You can do this using both client-side and server-side validation. If you’re doing something on the client-side then you should duplicate the functionality on the server, too. Modern debugging tools make it far too easy to circumvent JavaScript functionality. This questions lends itself well to begin solved as plugin, so I’m approaching it as such. … Read more
