Not sure if you’re still looking for an answer to this as it’s been 7+ months since it was asked, but I was looking to accomplish the same thing and using the function you highlighted above, I came up with the code below that, when placed inside of the loop, works perfectly. First, declare your … Read more
There’s no need for multiple queries – posts are, by default, ordered by most recent. Just apply a classname for the first post on the first page: <article <?php post_class( $wp_query->current_post === 0 && ! is_paged() ? ‘my-awesome-first-post’ : ” ) ?> The first post of the first page will have the class my-awesome-first-post. Update: … Read more
I found it 😀 Yeeeeeeeeaaaahhhhhh :)))) This is final code that worked! I explained each level 😉 /* for get author ID use these */ $curauth = (isset($_GET[‘author_name’])) ? get_user_by(‘slug’, $author_name) : get_userdata(intval($author)); $author_id = get_the_author_meta(‘ID’); /* First condition */ if( get_the_author_meta(‘management_certi’, $author_id, true)) { /* get file ID */ $id = get_user_meta( $author_id, ‘management_certi’); … Read more
You could do this with a simple script. IMPORTANT! – Backup your database before doing this & attempt at your own risk. Create a file called changeauthorcat.php in your main WordPress folder. <?php include( ‘wp-config.php’ ); global $wpdb; // Author username $username=”exampleuser”; // New category slug $newCatSlug = ‘examplecategory’; // find the right author $author … Read more
Apparently “the_author” is an appropriate filter. Also, $author is apparently a universal variable, so this code worked out fine: add_filter(“the_author”, “change_author”); function change_author($author) { $author = “NEW AUTHOR!”; return $author; }
Looking at the function source on https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_list_authors/ you can see that the post type of post is hard coded into the sql query that returns the authors and post counts. You could clone the function and add other post types as an argument, but I don’t see a more elegant solution sadly.
You have to run SQL query to do this. Put this code into your functions.php once, run your website and then delete it. global $wpdb; $author = 1; $comment_status=”closed”; $ping_status=”open”; $query = sprintf( ‘UPDATE %sposts SET `author` = %d, `comment_status` = %s, `ping_status` = %s’, $wpdb->prefix, $author, $comment_status, $ping_status ); $wpdb->query($query); Or run it directly … Read more
Make sure you’ve set the paged parameter in your query, below is shown how to do that. <?php $paged = ( get_query_var( ‘paged’ ) ) ? get_query_var( ‘paged’ ) : 1; $args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 3, ‘paged’ => $paged ); $the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?> For more information about pagination have a … Read more
I took a look at your article in the Facebook Debugger and it looks like it is still pulling in this meta tag <meta name=”author” content=”terrance” />. I’m assuming you deleted that from your site’s <head> already as I am not seeing it in the source code for that article. Have you “fetched a new … Read more
Jus add the parameter ‘author__in’=> array( 2, 3, 5 ) to $args and pass the author ID or IDs. You’ll get the results. $args = array( ‘author__in’=> array( 2, 3, 5 ), // array of authors IDs you like to include ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘caller_get_posts’=> 1 ); And I … Read more
