Your code should works. The line: include (get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/articles.php’); Needs to have allow_url_include=1 in the server configration because you are trying to include a file via http. Can you check this? You must know also that template_redirect should be use for a real redirect, a include() may have undesired effects here. I think what … Read more
I’ll guess that you don’t set $authorid anywhere, so it’s being ignored and returning all posts regardless of author. If you enable debugging, you’ll get a warning telling you that $authorid is undefined. It’s good practice to always develop with debugging enabled, so you don’t have to guess what your errors are. Also, don’t use … Read more
You need to use get_the_author_meta() instead of the_author_meta() <?php $authorpic = get_the_author_meta(‘author_pic’); if ($authorpic) echo $authorpic; else echo get_avatar( get_the_author_email(), ’80’ ); ?>
You can try out the Co-Authors Plus plugin. You will need to edit your theme template files to see multiple authors.
The echoing is already done by the_author_meta(). echo $autor_name does nothing. Correct would be to use get_the_author_meta().

Try get_user_by(): get_user_by( $field, $value ); In your case, you’d pass ID, and the user ID: // Get user object $recent_author = get_user_by( ‘ID’, $recent[“post_author”] ); // Get user display name $author_display_name = $recent_author->display_name;
Answer from comments: First, create a conditional to check if the user has already ‘published’ a post. If yes, simply redirect them. One can use update_post_meta with the post ID without any problem. Simply use that information to populate the fields.
It shouldn’t be any problem. Try this: $arg = array( ‘ID’ => $post_id, ‘post_author’ => $user_id, ); wp_update_post( $arg );
