If I understand you right, you want to show a post by a certain user with a custom post type Here is the code I would use, it might use a little more customizing, but it should give you the effect you want. <?php function display_oftera_post () { global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo(); // Logged in User … Read more
Well for anyone who may be interested, I worked out that the answer, after adding the my_author_rewrite_rules function as above (thank you), is to edit the twentytwelve_entry_meta() function by replacing this: esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( ‘ID’ ) ) ), with this: esc_url( sprintf( __( home_url().’/author/%d’, ‘twentytwelve’ ), get_the_author_meta(‘ID’) ) ), It also means similarly changing the … Read more
First grab the post ids by the author, and then the terms. $author_id = ‘1234’; $taxonomy = ‘clubs’; $post_ids = get_posts(‘fields=ids&post_type=post&post_status=publish&showposts=-1&author=”. $author_id ); $clubs = wp_get_object_terms($post_ids, array($taxonomy)); $html = “<ul>’; foreach( $clubs as $club ) { $html .= sprintf( ‘<li><a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/134259/%1$s”>%2$s</a></li>’, get_term_link($club, $taxonomy), $club->name ); } $html .= ‘</ul>’; echo $html;
The author posts link returns the author name which is linked to posts written by him. I think what you need is the author name of the post. It can be retrieved with <?php echo get_the_author(); ?> and if in case you need the link to the posts by this author then use: <?php echo … Read more
If you’re using the WP-PageNavi plugin, there are several FAQs on using it with a secondary query loop: http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-pagenavi/faq/ this code is from one of the pages linked from that FAQ: $my_query = new WP_Query( array( ‘tag’ => ‘foo’, ‘paged’ => get_query_var(‘paged’) ) ); while ( $my_query->have_posts() ) : $my_query->the_post(); the_title(); // more stuff here … Read more
Never use query_posts, use pre_get_posts to modify any main query. function wpd_exclude_author_category( $query ) { if ( $query->is_author() && $query->is_main_query() ) { $query->set( ‘category__not_in’, array( 42 ) ); } } add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘wpd_exclude_author_category’ );
For your author box to work, it needs to be inside the loop. You have one fundamental flaw though with your second loop. You are currently using two different loops in one, the first one being the main loop, and the second one a custom loop to fetch related posts As it stand, and where … Read more
You will need to use a WP Query to search for posts of that category. It will be something like: $author = get_the_author(); // defines your author ID if it is on the post in question $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘book’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘author’=>$author, ‘posts_per_page’ => 5, // the number of posts (books) … Read more
It is just easier and much more secure to have an admin user which is not an author, and use plugins like https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-switching/ to switch if there is something that can’t be solved with having two browsers open at the same time 😉
You could modify it through the the_author filter: /** * Set the author name as the site title. */ ! is_admin() && add_filter( ‘the_author’, function( $author ) { return get_bloginfo( ‘name’ ); } ); where we change the author name to the site name on the frontend with the help of the get_bloginfo() function.
