This is an answer I re-porpoised from a question that was abandoned. I thought this will help you solve this issue By default, all custom post types are excluded from the main query, that is why you don’t see any posts when going to the front end author page. To accomplish this, you will need … Read more
You can use the wordpress function user_can that accepts as arguments the id of the user and a string representing a capability or a role name (‘administrator’ in your case ) and returns a boolean value. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/user_can Referred to your code you can try this <?php if( !user_can( get_the_author_meta( ‘ID’ ), ‘administrator’ ) ): ?> … Read more
Do not use query_posts, and for that matter any custom query to replace the main query. It is always problematic and it creates more problems that solving it. Use the main query and make use of pre_get_posts to alter the main query as needed. To solve your issue, remove the query_posts line, this is how … Read more
count_user_posts will give you the number of posts for an author. get_the_author_meta gives you the user’s ID. Note that this needs to be in The Loop to get the correct user. if( 1 < count_user_posts( get_the_author_meta( ‘ID’ ) , ‘post’ ) ) { echo ‘<div>blah blah blah</div>’; }
The ‘special’ authors have in usermeta a meta key called ‘werksortgodmodus’ with meta value ‘yes’. The ‘rest’ of the authors have ‘werksortgodmodus’ = no . You could e.g. order by the meta value with (PHP versions 5.4+): $blogusers = get_users( [ ‘role’ => ‘author’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘werksortgodmodus’, ‘orderby’ => [ ‘meta_value’ => ‘DESC’, ‘display_name’ => … Read more
For the list of authors, the simplest solution is to create a page with the slug author, then create a page-author.php template where you’ll add your own code to list authors. All views in WordPress are a post or list of posts- there’s no concept of an author list, or a list of terms in … Read more
The template_include hook allows you to change which template file is going to be used. In it, you can conditionally check if it’s an author page requested, then use get_query_var() to get the requested author. You then check the authors role and see if it’s what you don’t want, and use a different template if … Read more
I would filter template_redirect, with an is_author() conditional, e.g.: function theme_slug_redirect_author_archive() { if ( is_author() ) { // Put your redirect code here; // Redirect to home_url(), or // return a 404, or whatever } } add_action( ‘template_redirect’, ‘theme_slug_redirect_author_archive’ );
Choosing the right template As your “User Profile”-Page is something completely custom and not the admin UI user profile page, I’d suggest to take the uthor posts page instead: get_author_link( true, get_current_user_id() ); Then modify this template. Pretty URls No need to go outside the WP template hierarchy. If you want something like ~/user, then … Read more
As far as I’m aware, it’s not possible via Add New under the Users tab, however, the wp_create_user function will let you create users without an email address: $username=”someuser”; $pass=”swordfish”; $new_user_id = wp_create_user( $username, $pass ); You’d have to wrap that in a basic plugin and provide some sort of UI for adding users.
