Try copying the following code into your functions.php file. It adds a custom og:image property for the authors with nicenames of michelle-robinson, mystery-man, john-smith, and a default fallback image, respectively. You can easily change this to suit your needs. add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘wpse_70701_author_image’ ); function wpse_70701_author_image() { if ( is_author( ‘michelle-robinson’ ) ) { // set … Read more
add_action(“gform_user_registered”, “image_author”, 10, 4); function image_author($user_id, $config, $entry, $user_pass) { $post_id = $entry[“post_id”]; $args = array( ‘post_parent’ => $post_id, ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’, ‘post_mime_type’ => ‘image’ ); $attachments = get_posts($args); if($attachments) : foreach ($attachments as $attachment) : setup_postdata($attachment); $the_post = array(); $the_post[‘ID’] = $attachment->ID; $the_post[‘post_author’] = $user_id; wp_update_post( $the_post ); endforeach; endif; }
The user_nicename should never have spaces. It is a sanitized version of user_name, that has been sanitized (Aa-Zz,0-9,_,-) to be suitable for use as a slug. If you have spaces in your user_nicename values, you’re going to get 404 errors. To correct, you’ll probably need to edit the database directly. Here are instructions, with screenshots, … Read more
The code below is the correct code, in several different PHP files. Currently need to know how to write it using the the_author_posts_link(); <p class=”postAuthor”>By <a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/74001/<?php the_author_meta(“user_url’); ?>”><?php the_author(); ?></a></p> Just replace this: <a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/74001/<?php the_author_meta(“user_url’); ?>”><?php the_author(); ?></a> With this: <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> Alternately, you could use this: <a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/74001/<?php echo get_author_posts_url(get_the_author_meta(“ID’ )); … Read more
The get_posts() function retrieves posts from the database. If I understand you correctly, that’s not what you want though, you simply mean to check the author of the post currently displayed. You can simply use $post->post_author. If outside the Loop, you have to call upon the $post global first. Hence global $post; // only required … Read more
I guess you need administrator permissions to change the authors or modify the user role permissions. WordPress allows changing the post author only to a super-admin or a user with the right to edit others posts. Also, an editor only has these permissions
What you need here is to shuffle all the array elements & then display them. But since php’s shuffle() function doesn’t preserve array key associations, here’s a version that does. function shuffle_assoc(&$array) { $keys = array_keys($array); shuffle($keys); foreach($keys as $key) { $new[(string)$key] = $array[$key]; } $array = $new; return true; } Add this function somewhere … Read more
The Codex lists rand as the orderby string, not RAND. I suspect that either works but I haven’t checked. But that isn’t how I’d do this. I’d lean toward something like… $current_category_ID = getCurrentCatID(); $current_cat_id = $current_category_ID; $author_array = array(); $args = array( ‘numberposts’ => -1, ‘cat’ => $current_cat_id ); $cat_posts = get_posts($args); foreach ($cat_posts … Read more
Well, you can try my plugin ;), but almost every SEO plugin includes this functionality now, and there are several plugins which are kind of dedicated to it. If you want to code it yourself for whatever reason, all you need is basically to add a field in the user profile admin page in which … Read more
You can do the following: <?php $post = $wp_query->post; $options = get_option( ‘sample_theme_options’ ); $authors = explode( ‘,’, $options[‘sometext’] ); if ( is_author( $authors ) ) { include ( TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/brand.php’ ); } else { include ( TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/customauthor.php’ ); } ?> This way, you’re always sure that $authors contains an array.
