have played around with the google analytics dashboard plugin, but there doesn’t seem to be any way to achieve what I am after There isn’t, because to use that plugin in the manner you want, you need a different GA account for each author to track each author, and select that account in the plugin … Read more
Please read the codex on this function. Outside of the loop, your second arg must be a user ID. Inside the loop, WP grabs it from the post data. get_the_author_meta(‘user_nicename’, $userID);
In the “homepage” code you posted, you have get_the_author_meta commented out. <?php /*?><img src=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/77403/<?php echo esc_attr( get_the_author_meta(“author_pic_sidebar’, $user->ID ) ); ?>” alt=”” /><?php */?> That is why it doesn’t work. See that <php /*?> right at the beginning of the line?
You can use the following: // prepare arguments $args = array( // search only for Authors role ‘role’ => ‘Author’, // order results by display_name ‘orderby’ => ‘display_name’ ); // Create the WP_User_Query object $wp_user_query = new WP_User_Query($args); // Get the results $authors = $wp_user_query->get_results(); // Check for results if (!empty($authors)) { echo ‘<ul>’; // … Read more
Interesting question, though I have to say it’d be way easier to solve this with a membership plugin – I assume you don’t want that. I have found this plugin which hasn’t been updated for over 2 years, however the author.php template hasn’t changed much since then. The only way to do this is either … Read more
You are arranging the users within foreach block. Why don’t you arrange them first and then go with the loop for displaying info. If you do that, you will need only one query. Do this in this order- 1. Do the query with get_users. You can add an extra parameter who=author. This will force to … Read more
Media are just posts – so just query posts. This is untested: $args = array( ‘author’ => $author_id, ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’, ); $query = new WP_Query( $args ); I’m not sure if you want currently logged in user or the author of the post currently in the loop – either way you can set $author_id … Read more
In my theme with raw codes, Post Meta Data are shown like: <div class=”entry-meta”> <span class=”meta-prep meta-prep-author”><?php _e(‘By ‘, ‘your-theme’); ?></span> <span class=”author vcard”><a class=”url fn n” href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/110649/<?php echo get_author_posts_url( false, $authordata->ID, $authordata->user_nicename ); ?>” title=”<?php printf( __( ‘View all posts by %s’, ‘your-theme’ ), $authordata->display_name ); ?>”><?php the_author(); ?></a></span> </div><!– .entry-meta –> It displays … Read more
You don’t say how you have set up the different adsense. I will assume that in your template there is a folder, called ‘authors-ads’, in it you have some php files, named after your authors ids, e.g.: /authors-ads/author-1.php /authors-ads/author-12.php and so on. after that in your single.php or whatever template you use to display posts … Read more
Use get_users function it allows you to query user by role. For contributors, $contributors = get_users(‘role=contributors’); foreach($contributors as $contributors){ // do something with contributors } For Admins, $admins = get_users(‘role=admin’); foreach($admins as $admins){ // do something with admins } replace role=* with your desired roles.
