When using custom post types I got around this problem by using the following code. Of course you will need to put in the HTML for how you want it to display on your site. <?php $temp = $wp_query; $wp_query= null; $wp_query = new WP_Query(); $wp_query->query(”); // Enter you query here ?> <?php while ($wp_query->have_posts()) … Read more
How are you creating the author’s link? If you put in your template: <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> It will write the author’s name and link for the current post. To modify the template for the author page, wordpress search for the following files in your theme’s folder (in this order): author-{nicename}.php author-{id}.php author.php archive.php index.php
There is a filter called author_link. You can use that change the URL to whatever you want. add_filter( ‘author_link’, function ($link, $author_id, $author_nicename) { var_dump($link, $author_id, $author_nicename); // debug return $link; // return your modified URL }, 1,3 ); The question does not have enough detail to allow for more specific code. You can use … Read more
Use this action hook found in buddypress/bp-xprofile/classes/class-bp-xprofile-profiledata.php do_action_ref_array( ‘xprofile_data_after_save’, array( $this ) ); You’ll need to use the actual field_id for your xprofile description. This example assumes it is 25. You can get the field_idby going to wp-admin > Users > Profile Fields and clicking ‘Edit’ on that field. The field_id will appear in the … Read more
I managed to resolve this issue by using pre_get_posts function and adding the custom post type to the main query. I added the below to my functions.php file and now I get results for authors in my custom post type: /* pre_get_posts function added to include post type blog in author loop */ function add_cpt_author( … Read more
The mistake is in your first block of code: <?php if (have_posts()): the_post(); ?> <h3> <?php _e(‘All posts by’); ?> <?php echo get_the_author(); ?> <span class=”arrows”>»</span> </h3> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post();?> You call the_post() to populate the regular template tags (i.e. get_the_author()) but don’t use the rest of the post. Then, inside your while … Read more
You have a couple of issues here, the main one being that your query sets posts per page to two, but the number of pages available has no relationship to your custom query. If your “Blog pages show at most” under Reading settings is set to 10, and an author only has <= 10 posts, … Read more
If you’re trying to get user data for the displayed profile, you can do it like so: $thisauthor = get_userdata(intval($author)); That’ll return an object filled with everything you need. For instance, if you need the user ID, you can call it like so: $thisauthor->ID I use this extensively on the profiles on my site: http://androidandme.com/user/clark … Read more
I just put a piece of code from author.php file of TwentyTwelve theme: <?php /* Queue the first post, that way we know * what author we’re dealing with (if that is the case). * * We reset this later so we can run the loop * properly with a call to rewind_posts(). */ the_post(); … Read more
If you are talking about author.php in your theme directory, usually at wp-content/themes/<YOURTHEMENAME> this isn’t a core file but part of your theme. Themes don’t get changed when WordPress is updated, so concerning WordPress updates themes are safe. But if your theme isn’t custom made by you (which I assume here) this file would be … Read more
