Display Author Specific Categories (1 post)

    Please may I ask for assistance on this issue:

    When viewing a specific author, in the categories sidebar widget I would like to display only the categories that that author has posted in, not all the categories on the site.

    please see website here: http://www.fuzegraphics.co.za/demo/musika/author/fuze/

    Does anyone know if there is a plugin for this or which files I need to edit and how?

    Below is the current widget that is displaying the ad categories. I presume all i need to do is change the way this widget pulls information:

    // widget to show all ad categories
    function cp_ad_cats_widget() {
    ?>
    <div class="shadowblock_out">

    <div class="shadowblock">

    <h2 class="dotted"><?php _e('Ad Categories','appthemes')?></h2>

    <div class="recordfromblog">

      <?php wp_list_categories('orderby=name&order=asc&hierarchical=1&show_count=1&use_desc_for_title=0&hide_empty=0&depth=1&number=&title_li=&taxonomy='.APP_TAX_CAT); ?>

    </div><!-- /recordfromblog -->

    </div><!-- /shadowblock -->

    </div><!-- /shadowblock_out -->

    <?php
    }
    $widget_ops = array('classname' => 'cp_ad_cats_widget', 'description' => "" );
    wp_register_sidebar_widget('cp_ad_cats_widget_id', 'CP Ad Categories', 'cp_ad_cats_widget', $widget_ops);
