So if i understand correctly you want to let the authors style their profile and save the data in a way that every visitor will see their saved style, kind of like twitter lets you style your own author page. If so then using cookies won’t help you here since cookies are user specific and … Read more
You check for <!–pageauthor:, but you expect it to start on the second character (1 === $has_part_title2) (you even have a typo there and left the 2 off). This will not work, because <!–pagetitle: is still part of that string (you don’t chop it off). You should either chop it off (do a substring in … Read more
your get_posts overrides the normal query_posts query. For this to work properly you should use query_posts and merge in your numberposts setting with the original query, like so: global $wp_query; $args = array_merge( $wp_query->query, array( ‘numberposts’ => -1 ) ); query_posts( $args ); Then you’ll no longer need a custom loop either, you could just … Read more
Why should you get redirected to the 404 page if you display an author archive without posts? This isn’t the default behavior of WordPress. For example, if you go to the following URL: http://example.com/{permalink_base}/author/{author_name} WordPress calls the author.php template inside your theme folder. There you have a loop which will return all posts of the … Read more
it’s simpler to do this via your theme’s functions.php or a plugin rather than .htaccess: function wpse31040_author_rewrite(){ add_rewrite_rule( ‘author/([0-9]+)/?$’, ‘index.php?author=$matches[1]’, ‘top’ ); } add_action( ‘init’, ‘wpse31040_author_rewrite’ ); make sure to visit the permalinks settings page after adding this to flush rewrite rules.
Hacky way of doing it: global $wpdb; $min_posts = 5; // Make sure it’s int, it’s not escaped in the query $author_ids = $wpdb->get_col(“SELECT `post_author` FROM (SELECT `post_author`, COUNT(*) AS `count` FROM {$wpdb->posts} WHERE `post_status`=’publish’ GROUP BY `post_author`) AS `stats` WHERE `count` >= {$min_posts} ORDER BY `count` DESC;”); // Do what you want to $author_ids … Read more
You could create a page called Matthew, then have a category called Matthew and have a plugin or something pull all posts form that Category? That would quickly give you a solution without having to code anything.
Assuming that you have a loop within your author.php file, grab the required metadata for every post within it, add it into a variable and display that after the loop has finished: $author_vote_count = 0; //declare vote count variable before the loop <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?> // the stuff going on … Read more
This wouldn’t be possible unless you keep a log of users that have voted the Idea. You will have to create another hidden post_meta array which will store a list of all the users who have voted the Idea. In that way you could count the number of votes an author has given. Or better … Read more
Happy to take this question in the WordPress.org forums 🙂
