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().
The capability you are after is called unfiltered_html. Some options: Modify author capabilities in your theme functions.php. This is saved in the DB, so you can access a page, make sure it works then remove it from your functions.php file. A better option would be to run it on theme activation. See this page on … Read more
just to add to what Rarst answered, you can create Custom Post Type not to emulate Comments but as stub posts with no ui. then to every Author on your site add a custom user metadata that will hold a post id of your newly made post type (one per each author) and in your … Read more
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 );
remove the filter that formats the description. put this in your theme’s functions.php: remove_filter(‘pre_user_description’, ‘wp_filter_kses’); EDIT – I should mention, if you allow random people to register and add their own bio for display on the site, not filtering that text could enable bad things.
