Hello!
my website: ampersandbox.net/?author=2
Basically on every author's page I would like to display a list on the right side of categories the current author has contributed to (has written a post in)
I'm not sure how to go about this but I started trying to write some code I came up with this code but for some reason it only displays one category which happens to be category 2. (check column on right labeled CATEGORIES)
<?php
//Gets category and author info
global $wp_query;
$cats = get_the_category();
$postAuthor = $wp_query->post->post_author;
$tempQuery = $wp_query;
// related category posts
$catlist = "";
forEach( $cats as $c ) {
if( $catlist != "" ) { $catlist .= ","; }
$catlist .= $c->name;
$catlist .= $c->description;
}
$newQuery = "posts_per_page=5&cat=" . $catlist;
query_posts( $newQuery );
$categoryPosts = "";
$count = 0;
?>
<?php echo $catname .' '. $catlist; ?>
