Here’s a quick and easy tutorial to display posts published by your WordPress authors. Consult the Codex Author Templates<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There are two ways to go about it. Both are efficient methods of doing it, but the second one is cleaner and easier.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

First solution<\/h2>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

This query will allow you to display posts from a WordPress author. <\/p>\n

If for example, you want to display your author’s ads, simply add this argument: post_type => ads.<\/p>\n

For the get_the_post_thumbnail<\/code>, we simply choose the size desired. You choose from thumbnail, medium or custom size with add_image_size<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

<?php\n\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\n\/\/ Fonction post reliés author\n\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\nfunction get_author_posts() {\nglobal $authordata, $post;\n\n\/\/ Nous creons une variable qui stocke tous les posts par auteur en excluant l'article consulté sur la page en affichant en aléatoire et un certain nombre\n$authors_posts = get_posts( \narray( \n'category__in'            => wp_get_post_categories($post->ID), \n'author'                  => $authordata->ID, \n'post__not_in'            => array( $post->ID ), \n'posts_per_page'          => 6, \n'orderby'                 => 'rand' ) );\n\n\/\/ Nous commencons a afficher nos resultats\n$output =''; \nforeach ( $authors_posts as $authors_post ) { \/\/ Nous allons chercher le title du post \n\t$parent_title = get_the_title($authors_post->ID); \n\t$excerpt = get_the_excerpt($authors_post->ID); \n\t\/\/ Nous commencons a afficher nos resultats \n\t$output .= ''; \n\t$output .= get_the_post_thumbnail($authors_post->ID,’thumbnail’); \n\t$output .= '' . apply_filters( ‘the_title’, $authors_post->post_title, $authors_post->ID ) . ''; \n\t$output .= ''; \n} \n$output .= ''; \n\/\/ On retourne tous les résultats \nreturn $output; \n}\n?><\/pre><\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
You’ll notice that in the category__in =>  wp_get_post_categories($post->ID) query allows you to display post displayed in a category.<\/p>\n
For example, we will display this in the single.php<\/strong> or single-post-type.php<\/strong> template.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
<?php echo get_author_posts(); ?><\/pre><\/div>
The second solution<\/h2>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
You’ll find the function below. It is easier to use given that it uses arguments in a table and returns results with the $authors_posts variable.<\/p>\n
You’ll also notice that we’re using a Post_type which matches the posts, but you can also use your own POST_TYPE and add additional arguments. <\/p>\n
The post__not_in => array( $post->ID ) allows users to exclude post or single post type of the current post given that we don’t want to see it in the linked posts.<\/p>\n
We could also add the category posts related to the author’s posts by using this argument: category => category_id. Simply replace category_id by your own category’s ID.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
function get_theme_author_posts( $items = 1 ) {\nglobal $authordata, $post;\n$authors_posts = get_posts(\narray(\n'author' =&gt; $authordata-&gt;ID,\n'post__not_in' =&gt; array( $post-&gt;ID ),\n'posts_per_page' =&gt; $items,\n'post_type' =&gt; 'post'\n)\n);\nreturn $authors_posts;\n}<\/pre><\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
This will be what we displayed in the single.php<\/strong> or single-post-type.php<\/strong>template. <\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
<?php $related_posts = get_theme_author_posts(3); foreach( $related_posts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?><\/pre><\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
You’ll also see that default permalink is author.<\/p>\n
Ex : http:\/\/www.viamultimedia.ca\/author<\/strong>\/tony<\/p>\n
If you want to change the authors’ permalink, simply use wp_rewrite.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\n\/\/ Fonction rewrite url author\n\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\nadd_action('init', 'via_author_base');\nfunction via_author_base() {\nglobal $wp_rewrite;\n$author_slug = 'auteur'; \/\/ change slug name\n$wp_rewrite-&gt;author_base = $author_slug;\n}<\/pre><\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
This will result in a new permalink slug.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
Ex : http:\/\/www.viamultimedia.ca\/wp-authors<\/strong>\/tony<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
Finally, you can customize the CSS of your authors’ posts.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Here's a quick and easy tutorial to display posts published by your WordPress authors.
