With this tutorial, we will show you how to display the articles liked by a user in their account. We need to create a query that will display the posts with the post meta “like” and its value are equal to the WordPress user’s ID.<\/p>\n

Obviously, to be make this function works, we need a Like system so users can like posts such as this one: WordPress Post Like System<\/a><\/p>\n

You also need a user account and do not forget the conditions in the user’s profile page.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

<?php \nif ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit; \/\/ Exit if accessed directly \nif ( is_user_logged_in()) : \nglobal $current_user; \nwp_get_current_user();\n$user = $current_user->ID; \n?>\n<\/pre><\/div>
Display posts liked by the user<\/h2>\n\t

In their user account, we will display the list of recently liked post. This create this query, we fist need to fetch the user’s ID with get_current_user_id()<\/strong> via WordPress’ get_currentuserinfo(). Next, the $types<\/strong> variable with fetch the required Post Type (In our example it’s Listings. Simply replace it by your Post Type or article post)<\/strong>. We will display 10 and then we’ll run a meta_query<\/a> that will match the author’s ID and the post meta key.<\/p>\n
Now we will loop. We implement an incremented ranking with $i<\/strong>. Here’s our query:
\n(The user_liked key must be changed by your post meta key representing the Like)<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
<?php\n\t$author_id = get_current_user_id();\n\t$types = 'listings';\n\t$args = array(\n\t  'numberposts' => '10',\n\t  'post_type' => $types,\n\t  'meta_query' => array (\n\t\tarray (\n\t\t  'key' => '_user_liked',\n\t\t  'value' => $author_id,\n\t\t  'compare' => 'LIKE'\n\t\t)\n\t  ) ); \n\t$like_query = new WP_Query( $args );\n\tif ( $like_query->have_posts() ) :\t?>\n\t<ul class="user-likes">\n\t\t<?php $i = 1; while ( $like_query->have_posts() ) : $like_query->the_post(); ?>\n\t\t\t <li>\n\t\t\t\t <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">\n\t\t\t\t <?php echo $i; ?> <?php _e('-'); ?>\n\t\t\t\t <?php the_title(); ?>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t<?php $i++; endwhile; ?>\n\t<\/ul>\n\t<?php else : ?>\n\t<p><?php _e( 'Pas de J&#39;aime', 'via-entreprises' ); ?><\/p>\n\t<?php \n\tendif; \n\twp_reset_postdata(); \n?><\/pre><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With this tutorial, we will show you how to display the articles liked by a user in their account.
