You have to use setup_postdata function if you want to use the_author_link with custom loop. Do it like this: <h2 class=”sidebarheaders”>Random Posts By You </h2> <br/> <?php $rand_posts = get_posts( array( ‘numberposts’ => 5, ‘orderby’ => ‘date’ ) ); foreach( $rand_posts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?><li><a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/89309/<?php the_permalink(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a></li> Written … Read more
You can try to catch the 404 template and redirect it to the author template which will usee the same template for all users even if they are subscribers (or any other which have zero posts) something like this: function no_404_for_all_users($template) { global $wp_query; if( !is_author() && get_query_var(‘author’) && (0 == $wp_query->posts->post) ) { return … Read more
A combination of get_queried_object_id to fetch the current user ID and get_user_meta to retrieve the banner should do the trick. <?php // somewhere in your theme’s author.php if ($img = get_user_meta(get_queried_object_id(), ‘user_banner’, true)) { // they uploaded an image, use it } else { // they did not upload the image, show the default }
You can check who the current user is and whether they have the same ID as the user that is being viewed. global $current_user wp_get_current_user(); if(the_author_meta(‘ID’) === $current_user->ID) : // Add your code here… endif; See these Codex pages for more information – wp_get_current_user() the_author_meta()
you code may look like this <?php global $wp_query; $thepostid = $wp_query->post->ID; $postdata = get_post($thePostid, ARRAY_A); $authorid = $postdata[‘post_author’]; if ($authorid==1) { echo ‘Show nothing’; } else { ?> <div id=”author-bio”> <h3>About The Author</h3> <?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_id() , 80 ); ?> <h4><?php the_author_posts_link(); ?></h4> <div class=”desc”><?php the_author_meta(‘description’); ?> </div> </div> <?php } ?>
Use get_comment_author_link() instead of <a href … </a>: echo get_comment_author_link();
I assume you mean that you are using a child theme based on Twenty Twelve. That being the case, you would just include the appropriate file or files in your child theme. Your child theme could include a single.php file edited to do what you want, but you probably don’t have to. That file calls … Read more
